What is the difference between a bolus and chyme?
A bolus is a round mass of food formed in the mouth during the process of chewing and ready to be swallowed, whereas chyme is a semi-fluid mass of partly digested food that moves from the stomach to the small intestine for further digestion and nutrient absorption. Chyme is created by mixing food with stomach acids and digestive enzymes.
What changes the pH of chyme as it enters the duodenum?
The duodenum releases bicarbonate-rich pancreatic juice to neutralize the acidic chyme coming from the stomach. This helps raise the pH of the chyme in preparation for digestion by enzymes in the small intestine.
As chyme moves through the duodenum does it become more acidic or more alkaline?
When chyme first enters the duodenum from the stomach, it is acidic because of the gastric acid. Once in the duodenum, the chyme is exposed to pancreatic and brunner gland secretions which contain bicarbonate. The bicarbonate changes the pH of the chyme to neutral or slightly basic because the small intestine does not have the same protections against the hydrochloric acid as the stomach. Thus, the answer is that chyme becomes more basic as it moves through the duodenum.
The chemical that neutralizes the acidic chyme so that the lining of the duodenum is not eroded is?
The chemical that neutralizes the acidic chyme in the duodenum is bicarbonate. Bicarbonate is released by the pancreas to help neutralize the acidic chyme coming from the stomach. This helps protect the lining of the duodenum from erosion.
What adjusts the pH of chyme entering the duodenum?
The pancreas secretes bicarbonate ions to neutralize the acidic chyme entering the duodenum from the stomach, raising the pH of the chyme and creating a more optimal environment for digestion by pancreatic enzymes.
What is chyme produced in?
Chyme is the name for the mixture formed by the churning and digestion of food in the stomach.
Are product of digestion called chyme is formed in which of the following?

How is chyme produced?
it is produced by mixing food from the oesophagus with acids from the stomach to produce a thick semi-liquid.
Where does the chyme go?
Chyme is the partially digested food mixture that passes from the stomach to the small intestine for further digestion and absorption of nutrients. From the small intestine, the remains of the chyme continue through the large intestine where water is absorbed and waste products are formed before being excreted from the body.
