The Mixture of Food and Digestive Juices That Leaves the Stomach

Question

The mixture of food and digestive juices that leaves the stomach is called:
A) cud.
B) chyme.
C) pepsin.
D) trypsin.

Accepted Answer

Chyme is the mixture of partially digested food and digestive juices that leaves the stomach and enters the small intestine for further digestion and absorption of nutrients. Cud is regurgitated food that is re-chewed by ruminant animals. Pepsin and trypsin are enzymes produced in the stomach and pancreas, respectively, that help break down proteins during digestion.
