Which of the following statements about the digestive system is false?
a. the stomach is separated from the small intestine by the pyloric sphincter.
b. chyme is a mixture of food and digestive juices that is produced in the stomach.
c. food enters the large intestine before the small intestine.
d. in the small intestine, chyme mixes with bile, which emulsifies fats.

The false statement about the digestive system is C. Food enters the large intestine before the small intestine.

In the digestive system, there's a ring consisting of smooth muscle called the pyloric sphincter. This separates the stomach from the small intestine. It functions in controlling movement of chyme.

Chyme, on the other hand, are partially digested food that is mixed with digestive juices in the stomach.

Therefore, statement A and B are TRUE.

Statement D is also true because the chyme is passed over to the small intestine to mix with bile. However, food passes through the small intestine before coming to the big intestine.

Therefore, the statement "C. Food enters the large intestine before the small intestine" is FALSE.
