Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -These juices help break up food into much smaller pieces. By the time food is ready to leave the stomach, it has been turned into a thick liquid called chyme (kime). A small muscular valve called the pylorus (pie-LOR-is) controls when chyme is released into the small intestine.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the large intestine, bacteria break down any proteins and starches in chyme that were not digested fully in the small intestine. When all of the nutrients have been absorbed from chyme, the remaining waste material changes into semisolids that are called feces.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -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-5: -The stomach slowly empties its contents, called chyme, into your small intestine. Small intestine. The muscles of the small intestine mix food with digestive juices from the pancreas, liver, and intestine, and push the mixture forward for further digestion.
