The conversion of food into chyme by the digestive action of gastric juice.
A milky fluid containing the fatty matter of the food in a state of emulsion, or fine mechanical division; formed from chyme by the action of the intestinal juices.
To withdraw from the nourishment of the body this chymewhich the stomach has laboriously manufactured cannot be a matter of indifference.
It is the presence of the acid chyme in the duodenum which excites the normal flow of bile, and Bernard found that applying acid to the orifice of the common duct in the intestine has the same effect.
Mastication excites, by reflex action, pancreatic secretion; the acid chyme touches the orifice of the common bile-duct and stimulates the outflow of bile; the neutralized chyme next invites pancreatic digestion.
Common observation shows that the symptoms of hepatic colic usually declare themselves in two or three hours after a meal--at that time when the presence of the chyme in the duodenum solicits the flow of bile.
Still, with the weakened absorptive powers of the stomach, {608} and its inability to properly propel its contents into the intestine, it is a question how much of this chyme would eventually be utilized for nutrition.
The outflow of bile is excited by the contact of the chyme with the orifice of the bile-duct.
Just as the presence of normal chyme induces the flow of bile, so the unhealthy products of intestinal indigestion excite an irritation of the liver.
Symptoms of duodenal indigestion accompany this form of catarrh; the failure of bile to neutralize the acid chyme impairs the effect of the pancreatic secretion.
Further, if the albuminose be separated from the chyme, and the chyme then brought into contact with the bile, the same flocculent-looking milkiness still appears.
Eating food lacking fiber greatly reduces the volume of the chymeand slows peristalsis.
It is smaller in bulk than the duodenum, and the chyme passes rapidly through it.
It probably is concerned in assimilating the food, and converting the chyme of the stomach into chyle.
The food, having been converted into chyme by the digestive power of the stomach, soon undergoes another and very important change.
As the chyme is formed, it passes out of the other orifice of the stomach, and enters the first intestine or 'duodenum'.
Through it the chyme becomes separated into nutritive juice or chyle, and into excrement.
In it the separation of the chyme into chyle and excrementitious matter takes place.
Calves, when fattening, are often fed so injudiciously, that the stomach is incapable of reducing the food to chyme and chyle: the consequence is, that a large amount of carbonic acid gas is evolved.
The glands alluded to secrete from the blood a powerful solvent, called the gastric juice, which is the agent in reducing the food to chyme and chyle.
That portion of chyme which is not needed, or cannot be converted into chyle, descends into the intestines, and is finally carried out of the body by the rectum.
In the early stages of the disease, the ejections consist of chyme and mucus, streaked with blood.
Each villus contains a net-work of blood-vessels, and a lacteal tube, into which the ducts from the liver and pancreas open, and pour their secretions to assist in the conversion of the chyme into chyle.
Chyme is food, chemically altered by the action of the gastric juice.
As fast as chyme is formed, it is expelled by the contractile power of the stomach into the duodenum, or first intestine.
By the action of these agents, the chyme is converted into two distinct portions: a milky white fluid, called chyle, and a thick yellow residue.
After the chyle is separated from the chyme and passes into the circulation, the indigestible and refuse portion of the food, which is incapable of nourishing the system, passes off through the intestinal canal.
The chemically-changed chyme is now termed Chyle, and is ready to be absorbed by the minute, projecting Villi.
By the action of these different fluids, the chyme is converted into a fluid of a whitish color, called Chyle, and into residuum.
Well-prepared chyme is the natural stimulus of the duodenum, liver, and pancreas; pure chyle is the appropriate excitant of the lacteal vessels.
The food is not all converted into chyme at the same time; but as fast as it is changed, it passes through the pyloric orifice into the duodenum.
The CHYME is conveyed through the pyloric orifice of the stomach into the duodenum.
The chyme not only excites an action in the duodenum, but also in the liver and pancreas.
The chyme must pass into the duodenum and other portions of intestine beyond the stomach, and be retained there for some time, before it will form perfect chyle.
For, suppose the chyme to be perfect, though even this may be mere pulp, rather than chyme, and suppose it pass quietly along into the duodenum and other small intestines.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "chyme" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
