<P> After hours of mechanical and chemical digestion , food has been reduced into chyme . As particles of food become small enough , they are passed out of the stomach at regular intervals into the small intestine , which stimulates the pancreas to release fluid containing a high concentration of bicarbonate . This fluid neutralizes the gastric juices , which can damage the lining of the intestine , resulting in duodenal ulcer . Other secretions from the pancreas , gallbladder , liver , and glands in the intestinal wall help in digestion . </P>
