Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

After food and gastric juices combine in the stomach, the mixture becomes a semi-fluid mass called chyme. The chyme is then released into the small intestine for further digestion and absorption of nutrients. A bolus is the ball-like mass of food that is swallowed and travels down the esophagus to the stomach. Feces is the waste material that is eliminated from the body. Chunk and segments are not terms used to describe the gastric contents.
