Partially digested, semiliquid food mixed with digestive enzymes and acids in the stomach is called?

• A. Chyme
• B. Bolus
• C. Defecation
• D. Insulin

Answer: (A)

Chyme is the semiliquid, partially digested food formed in the stomach when a swallowed bolus is churned with gastric secretions that include acid and enzymes. This mixing breaks down the food further and creates a fluid mass that can move into the small intestine in small, controlled amounts. Bolus refers to the swallowed food before it has mixed with the stomach juices, while defecation and insulin describe stool elimination and a pancreatic hormone, respectively. So the described material is chyme because it reflects the state after gastric digestion and mixing with gastric secretions.
