Detailed explanation-1: -Food is digested within the stomach for several hours and is turned into a creamy paste called chyme. Eventually the chyme enters the small intestine (duodenum) where absorption will occur.
Detailed explanation-2: -Chyme results from the mechanical and chemical breakdown of a bolus and consists of partially digested food, water, hydrochloric acid, and various digestive enzymes. Chyme slowly passes through the pyloric sphincter and into the duodenum, where the extraction of nutrients begins.
Detailed explanation-3: -In your stomach, unique chief cells secrete digestive enzymes. One is pepsin, which breaks down proteins. Another is gastric lipase, which breaks down triglycerides. In your stomach, your body absorbs fat-soluble substances, such as aspirin and alcohol.
