In digestion, a bolus (from Latin bolus, ball) is a round mass of organic matter moving through the digestive tract. A bolus is initially shaped through chewing and swallowing of food and maintained as peristalsis moves it through the intestines, eventually being released as feces. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolus_(digestion) Jan 16 08, 12:38 PM
