Solution

Different names of food during digestion:
Bolus: Food mixed with saliva in mouth is called bolus. Bolus moves down into oesophagus by peristaltic movements followed by its entry into stomach.
Chyme: Food mixes with gastric juices in stomach and forms chyme. Chyme moves into small intestine and the absorption takes place.
Undigested food is temporarily stored in rectum in the form of faeces. Faeces are removed from anal opening on having the desire for removal.
