Which section of the digestive system is responsible for receiving chyme and further digesting it?

A. The large intestine

B. The duodenum

C. The jejunum

D. The gallbladder

Answer Explanation:

The duodenum is the first section of the small intestine. It receives partially digested food (also called chyme) from the stomach, further digesting it with the help of enzymes released by the gall bladder. Then, the food enters into the jejunum, then the ileum. The large Intestine's main function is the reabsorption of water into the body to form solid waste. It also allows for the absorption of vitamin K produced by microbes living inside the large intestine.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is B.
