The semi-solid mass which is produced after thoroughly mix up of food and gastric juice is called
(a) balus
(b) chyme
(c) bile
(d) villus
Correct Answer: (b) chyme
Explanation:
In the human digestive system, chyme is a semi-fluid pulp, created from the ingested bolus in the stomach, made by partly digested food and secretions of the gastrointestinal tract.
Chyme is mixed with the food in the stomach. It is initially acidic in pH and contains salivary and gastric enzymes.
Chyme moves from the stomach to the small intestine and triggers pancreatic secretions and the release of bile juice from the gall bladder and liver.
