Chyme

Imagine trying to mix a thick batter for pancakes where the flour and liquid ingredients just don't seem to combine smoothly. This process is similar to how your stomach works to blend food and digestive juices into a semi-liquid form called chyme. Just as you need to stir and fold the batter until it reaches a smooth consistency, your stomach muscles churn the partially digested food and enzymes until they become a uniform mixture, enabling the nutrients to be absorbed effectively.
