chyme

Examples of chyme in the following topics:

• Intestinal Phase

  • The intestinal phase occurs in the duodenum, responds to arriving chyme, and moderates gastric activity via hormones and nervous reflexes.
  • Individuals with diabetes have a higher probability of suffering from delayed clearance of chyme from the duodenum.
  • Chyme also stimulates duodenal enteroendocrine cells to release secretin and cholecystokinin.
  • The effect of this is that gastrin secretion declines and the pyloric sphincter contracts tightly to limit the admission of more chyme into the duodenum.
  • This gives the duodenum time to work on the chyme it has already received before being loaded with more.

• Pancreatic Juice

  • Pancreatic fluid contains digestive enzymes that help to further break down the carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids in the chyme.
  • These enzymes help to further break down the carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids in the chyme.
  • Pancreatic fluid or juice contains digestive enzymes that pass to the small intestine where they help to further break down the carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids (fats) in the chyme.

• Absorption and Feces Formation in the Large Intestine

  • The large intestine absorbs water from the chyme and stores feces until they can be defecated.
  • The large intestine absorbs water from the chyme and stores feces until it can be egested.

• Hormones of the Digestive System

  • This hormone responds to the acidity of the chyme.
  • This hormone is secreted in response to fat in chyme.

• Pancreas

  • These enzymes help to further break down the carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids in the chyme.
  • These enzymes help to further break down the carbohydrates, proteins and lipids (fats) in the chyme.

• Processes and Functions of the Digestive System

  • The bolus is converted into a slimy material called chyme.
  • The stomach is a muscular bag that maneuvers food particles, mixing highly acidic gastric juice and powerful digestive enzymes with the chyme to prepare for nutrient absorption in the small intestine.
  • Stimulatory hormones such as gastrin and motillin help the stomach pump gastric juice and move chyme.
  • The complex network of hormones eventually prepares chyme for entry into the duodenum, the first segment of the small intestine.

• Organs of the Digestive System

  • Here our bolus gets mixed with digestive acids, furthering breakdown, and turning the bolus material into a slimy mess called chyme.
  • The chyme moves on into the small intestine, where nutrients are absorbed.
  • As the chyme makes its way through each segment of the small intestine, pancreatic juices from the pancreas start to break down proteins.

• Types of Cells in the Pancreas

  • These enzymes help to further break down the carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids in the chyme.

• Mucosa

  • Food, mucous, and digestive juices pass through the lumen, and the mucosa comes in direct contact with digested food (chyme).

• Muscularis

  • This is the inner oblique layer, and helps churn the chyme in the stomach.
