Detailed explanation-1: -After chyme is produced in the stomach, it is sent to the small intestine where most of the nutrients are absorbed. Next, it moves to the large intestine where water is absorbed and chyme becomes more concentrated. Eventually, chyme is processed into feces and is expelled through the rectum and anus.
Detailed explanation-2: -Chyme is then squirted down into the small intestine, where digestion of food continues so the body can absorb the nutrients into the bloodstream. This opens in a new window. The small intestine is made up of three parts: the duodenum (pronounced: due-uh-DEE-num), the C-shaped first part.
Detailed explanation-3: -The stomach muscles churn and mix the food with digestive juices that have acids and enzymes. 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).
