What is the difference between chyme and bolus?

Bolus is the food that is mashed up in your mouth. After it is digested in the stomach, the food is called chyme. Bolus is more alkaline than chyme because it is exposed to alkaline saliva. Teeth and saliva turn food into bolus. It is then swallowed and passes through the esophagus into the stomach. Chyme has a higher acidity content than bolus because it was exposed to hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Chyme enters the small intestine after digestion in the stomach.

What two things that the stomach does to turn it into chyme?

The stomach uses mechanical and chemical processes to turn food into chyme. Mechanically, it contracts and mixes the food with gastric juices, breaking it down into smaller pieces. Chemically, gastric juices, which contain hydrochloric acid and digestive enzymes like pepsin, help to liquefy the food and initiate protein digestion. This combination of mixing and digestion transforms the food into a semi-liquid substance known as chyme.
