The pulp, formed by the food, mixed with the supra-diaphragmatic and gastric secretions, after it has been for some time in the stomach. In this it continues until it reaches the biliary and pancreatic ducts, which open into the duodenum, where the conversion into chyle occurs, which is absorbed by the chyliferous vessels,-the excrementitious portion of the food traversing the large intestine to be evacuated per anum. Castelli asserts, that Chyme and Chyle were used in an opposite sense by the ancients, to that accepted at present.
