ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The lining of the stomach produces gastric juices that contain protein-digesting enzymes. Peristaltic movements of the stomach wall mix and churn the food with the gastric juices. This action further breaks up the food particles, forming a milky fluid known as chyme.

Detailed explanation-2: -When food reaches the stomach mashed up food particles mix with acid and digestive enzymes. The digestion of food starts as soon as we start chewing it in the mouth. We have enzymes secreted for the digestion of carbohydrates.

Detailed explanation-3: -Your stomach muscles squeeze and churn to mix the bolus with all of these digestive juices. The liquid mixture is called chyme. When it’s ready, your stomach squirts the chyme into the small intestine where digestion continues and absorption of those all-important nutrients occurs.

Detailed explanation-4: -The partially digested food and gastric juice mixture is called chyme. Gastric emptying occurs within two to six hours after a meal. Only a small amount of chyme is released into the small intestine at a time.
