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.


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.


What watery liquid moves from the stomach to the small intestine?

The watery liquid that moves from the stomach to the small intestine is called chyme. Chyme is a mixture of partially digested food, stomach acid, and enzymes that is produced in the stomach to aid in digestion and absorption of nutrients in the small intestine.


What is mixture of stomach fluids and food produced in the stomach by contracting stomach muscles?

The mixture of stomach fluids and food produced in the stomach by contracting stomach muscles is called chyme. Chyme is a semi-fluid mass that is created during the process of digestion and contains partially digested food along with gastric juices such as hydrochloric acid and enzymes. It moves from the stomach to the small intestine for further digestion and absorption of nutrients.


How does pyloric sphincter know when to open to let out a little chyme and then close?

The pyloric sphincter opens in response to food entering the stomach. Stretch receptors in the stomach wall detect the food volume, signaling the sphincter to open and allow a controlled amount of chyme to pass into the small intestine for further digestion. Once the chyme has passed through, the sphincter closes to prevent backflow.
