The ____ is a substance made as a result of the breakdown of food in the stomach.
A
Calculi
B
Chyme
C
Cartilage
D
Emesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -After hours of mechanical and chemical digestion, food has been reduced into chyme. As particles of food become small enough, they are passed out of the stomach at regular intervals into the small intestine, which stimulates the pancreas to release fluid containing a high concentration of bicarbonate.

Detailed explanation-2: -Gastric acid is the acid in the stomach that breaks the bonds in proteins and vegetables. Pepsin breaks protein down into protein components. Gastric lipase is the enzyme that breaks down lipids into fatty acids. The breakdown in the stomach creates an acidic liquid containing food that is called chyme.

Detailed explanation-3: -chyme, a thick semifluid mass of partially digested food and digestive secretions that is formed in the stomach and intestine during digestion. In the stomach, digestive juices are formed by the gastric glands; these secretions include the enzyme pepsin, which breaks down proteins, and hydrochloric acid.

Detailed explanation-4: -With its powerful muscles, the stomach begins churning and mixing the food into smaller and smaller pieces. Your digestive glands in your stomach lining produce stomach acid and enzymes, which mix with the food to form a murky semifluid mass or paste called chyme.

Detailed explanation-5: -Enzymes from the salivary and the lingual glands digest carbohydrates and fats, enzymes from the stomach digest proteins, and enzymes from the exocrine glands of the pancreas digest carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, RNA, and DNA.
