The stomach mixes food with secretions of the stomach wall to form

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The mixture of food and secretions in the stomach forms chyme, which is a thick, semi-fluid substance that is released into the small intestine for further digestion and absorption of nutrients. Gastric juice is the name for the secretions of the stomach, but it is not the actual mixture of food and secretions. Parietal bolus is not a term used in the context of the digestive system. Gastrin is a hormone produced by cells in the stomach that helps to regulate the production of gastric juice.
