Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chyme is formed in the stomach as a result of the mixing and breakdown of food with stomach acid and digestive enzymes. The pancreas and gallbladder contribute enzymes to the chyme as it moves through the small intestine, but they are not directly involved in its formation. The large intestine primarily absorbs water and electrolytes from the remaining material after digestion, but does not play a significant role in chyme formation.
