What is the name given to the set of mechanisms that regulate the intake and exhaust of gases in the cylinders?

Correct answer

Timing system.

The set of parts that regulate the intake and exhaust of gases in the cylinder is called the timing system. This system must be in perfect synchronisation with the crankshaft, so that the valves open and close according to the successive positions of the piston within the cylinder and at the correct moments.
