The statement is false.
The intestinal phase means the phase that concerns the intestines (the gut) which is located after the stomach in the digestion process, so the intestinal phase does not include the stomach.

Pylorus is located at the end of the stomach, so it is not the part that activates digestion process. It is the fundus.
