Definitions

n.名词 noun

1
- : the semifluid mass into which food is converted by gastric secretion and which passes from the stomach into the small intestine.

This mixes with the food, and reduces it to a soft pulpy mass, called chyme.
The chemically-changed chyme is now termed Chyle, and is ready to be absorbed by the minute, projecting Villi.
The chyle was formed out of chyme, changed by the action of the pancreatic and biliary secretions.
The bile and pancreatic fluid are conveyed into the duodenum, and mixed with the chyme.
By the action of these different fluids, the chyme is converted into a fluid of a whitish color, called Chyle, and into residuum.
