The sphincter pupillae, or pupillary sphincter, belonging to the iris in the eye.
The orbicularis oris muscle, a muscle around the mouth.
The cardia/lower esophageal sphincter, or cardiac sphincter at the upper portion of the stomach. This sphincter prevents the acidic contents of the stomach from moving upward into the esophagus.
The pyloric sphincter, at the lower end of the stomach.
The sphincter of Oddi, or Glisson's sphincter, controlling secretions from the liver, pancreas and gall bladder into the duodenum.
The sphincter urethrae, or urethral sphincter, controlling the exit of urine from the body.
At the anus, there are two sphincters which control the exit of feces from the body (see internal anal sphincter and external anal sphincter). The inner sphincter is involuntary and the outer voluntary.
Sphincters prove effective in the mediation of the entrance or release of liquids and fluids; this is evident in the blowholes of numerous marine mammals, for example.

Sphincters Of The Body

I think there are probably more than 5 in the body. Of course it depends on what you count as a sphincter. You may mean the the sphincters of the gastrointestinal tract, which are the mouth, the upper esophageal sphincter (cricopharyngeus), lower esophageal sphincter (high pressure zone, not a true sphincter), pylorus (between the stomach and duodenum), ileocecal valve (between the small intestine and colon) and finally the anus.

Also in the GI tract is the Sphincter of Oddi (between bile duct and biliary system - the liver). Of the urinary system, there is the external sphincter between the bladder and urethra. You could also consider the vocal cords, the epiglottis, the soft palate, the pupil, and heart valves sphincters of sorts.
