Chyme is a soupy blend of bolus and digestive juices. The bolus is chewed up food mixed with saliva after it has been swallowed and has traveled down the esophagus into the stomach. After the bolus enters the stomach, the stomach adds digestive juices, a combination of the hormone gastrin, and enzymes such as intrinsic factor, hydrochloric acid, and pepsinogen. Then it becomes chyme. It continues to be chyme until it enters the cecum, when it turns into feces in the colon.
