Chyme, a thick semifluid mass of partially digested food and digestive secretions that is formed in the stomach and intestine during digestion. In the stomach, digestive juices are formed by the gastric glands; these secretions include the enzyme pepsin, which breaks down proteins, and hydrochloric acid.

As chyme passes through the stomach and intestine, itpicks up cellular debris and other waste products. When the nutrients are absorbed from the chyme completely, the remaining waste material passes to the end of the large intestine, colon and rectum and is stored as fecal matter until it is ready to be excreted from the body.
