Question

Difference between Bolus and Chyme.

Answer 1

Hint: The food that is mashed up in your mouth is known as bolus. The food is called chyme after it has been digested in the stomach. Because it is exposed to alkaline saliva, the bolus is more alkaline than chyme. Food is converted to bolus by the teeth and saliva.

complete answer:
Bolus is chewed food that has been mixed with saliva in the mouth. This mixture of food and solutions is referred to as a bolus until it is passed into the stomach. The food mass known as chyme is formed when the bolus reaches the stomach, mixes with gastric juices, and shrinks in size.
After being swallowed, the bolus travels through the esophagus, where it is warmed and lubricated as it moves toward the stomach. The bolus is converted to chyme, a liquefied mass that is squirted from the stomach into the small intestine, by the acidic environment of the stomach and the action of gastric enzymes.
The difference Between Bolus and Chyme is as follows:

Bolus	Chyme
Bolus has a higher alkaline content.	Chyme has a higher acidity.
Bolus is a type of food that resembles a ball.	Chyme is a creamy paste that is semi-liquid.
A bolus is a type of soft food.	The liquid part of the food is referred to as chyme.
Bolus is food that has been mixed with saliva.	Chyme is food that has been mixed with gastric juice.
Bolus is chewed and then swallowed to reach the stomach.	Chyme enters the small intestine after passing through the stomach.

Note:
The administration of the drug(s) in a bolus is known as a bolus injection. A bolus is a large single dose of medication. An intravenous bolus injection, as shown above, is given intravenously. Another example is chemotherapy. The administration of a drug bolus into a muscle is known as an intramuscular bolus injection.
