Question

Which among the following parts of the digestive system produces chyme?

• A. Small intestine
• B. Liver
• C. Stomach
• D. Mouth

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Stomach

• Chyme is the partially digested soft, pulpy food, which is mixed with gastric juice in the stomach.
• The mouth produces bolus created due to chewing and mixing of saliva.
• In the small intestine the chyme is received and completely digested and nutrients are absorbed.
• The liver is not a part of the alimentary tract and hence food doesn't enter in it. It only helps in digestion of fats.

So, the correct answer is option C.
