Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Chyme or chymus (/kaɪm/; from Greek khymos, “juice") is the semi-fluid mass of partly digested food that is expelled by a person’s or an animal’s stomach, through the pyloric valve, into the duodenum (the beginning of the small intestine).
Detailed explanation-3: -Chyme (“/kʌɪm/”) is the medical term used to describe the pulpy and semi-fluid composition of partly undigested food, fluid, stomach acid/gastric juices (hydrochloric acid), and digestive enzymes such as pancreatic enzymes and bile.
Detailed explanation-4: -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: -2. The Large Intestine Completes Absorption and Compacts Waste. Chyme passes from the small intestine through the ileocecal valve and into the cecum of the large intestine. Any remaining nutrients and some water are absorbed as peristaltic waves move the chyme into the ascending and transverse colons.
