Card 15 / 66:
Why is it important that chyme from the stomach is delivered to the small intestine slowly and in small amounts?
If large quantities of chyme were forced into the small intestine, it would result in osmotic water loss from the blood into the intestinal lumen that could cause potentially life-threatening low blood volume and erosion of the duodenum.
