What else can I help you with?
Chyme is neutralized in the small intestine by secretions from the?
Pancreas
The mixture of gastric juices and food that enters the small intestine?
chyme
What are the juices present in small intestine?
pancreatic juice chyme bile
What is the oval organ that sends fluid into the small intestine to chemically digest and neutralize chyme?
The pancreas is the oval organ that sends fluids, such as enzymes and bicarbonate, into the small intestine to aid in the chemical digestion and neutralization of chyme.
How is the pH of the stomach maintained?
Alkaline pancreatic juices are secreted into the small intestine and neutralize the acidic chyme.
The pancreas secretes which substance to help the small intestine digest food?
carbohydrates, protein, and fat in the chyme.
When the pancreatic juices have mixed with the chyme in the small intestine which of the following describes the pH of the resulting mixture?
From this point, the chyme remains at a neutral or slightly alkaline pH.
What is the mixture of food and digestive juices that leave the stomach?
The mixture of food and digestive juices that leave the stomach is called chyme. Chyme is a semi-fluid mass consisting of partially digested food, gastric juices, and enzymes that is passed from the stomach to the small intestine for further digestion and absorption of nutrients.
What are the structures that add enzymes to chyme in the small intestine?
The structures that add enzymes to chyme in the small intestine are the pancreas and the intestinal mucosa. The pancreas secretes pancreatic enzymes such as proteases, lipases, and amylases into the small intestine to aid in digestion. Additionally, the intestinal mucosa produces enzymes to further break down nutrients for absorption.
Which substance neutralizes stomach acid as chyme enters the small intestine?
Bicarbonate is the secretion that neutralizes stomach acid as chyme enters the small intestine. Bicarbonate is necessary because chyme is highly acidic. Bicarbonate is created in the pancreas.
What would happen to some of the nutrients in chyme if the pancreas did not secrete its solution into the small intestine?
The nutrients in the chyme would not be absorbed by the villi and your body would not get the nutrients.
What do fats in chyme stimulate the secretion of?
Fats in chyme stimulate the secretion of bile from the gallbladder and enzymes from the pancreas to help with fat digestion and absorption in the small intestine.
