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: -Stomach. The stomach wall produces gastric juice (hydrochloric acid and enzymes) that digests proteins. The stomach acts like a concrete mixer, churning and mixing food with gastric juice to form chyme-a thick, soupy liquid.
Detailed explanation-3: -Chyme has two main functions. It increases the surface area of food by breaking it down into smaller components. It also stimulates digestive glands (gallbladder and pancreas) to secrete their respective solutions (bile, digestive enzymes, and bicarbonate).
Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -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.
