Plural form of chyme; multiple portions or instances of partially digested stomach contents.
Simple plural of 'chyme' (from Greek 'chymos'). The plural form is used when discussing multiple samples or stages of chyme during the digestive process.
Using the plural 'chymes' is actually quite rare in modern medicine—most doctors just say 'chyme' as an uncountable noun, but historically researchers studying digestion might have collected multiple 'chymes' from different animals or time points.
