HBiology(Digestion)

QuestionAnswer
Characteristics of Monosaccarides Smallest unit,(glucose,fructose,galactose)
Maltose(Disaccaride) Glucose and Glucose, beer
Sucrose(Disaccaride) Glucose and Fructose, table sugar/honey
Lactose(Disaccaride) Gluctose and galactose, milk
Polysaccarides 3 or more, long chain, complex
Glycogen(polysaccaride) how animals store carbs in muscle tissue
Starch(polysaccaride) how plants store carbs
Cellulose(polysaccaride) undigestable part of plant fiber
Characteristics of lipids carbon/oxygen/hydrogen, energy source, insaluable in water, primary trigliceride
Fatty acids saturated(butter at room temp), unsaturated(liquid at room temp), or trans fat
Trans fats occur naturally or from partially hydrogenated plant oils and animal fats
Trigliceride neutral fat composed of glycerol and three fatty acids
Protein carbon/oxygen/nitrogen/hydrogen, enzyme producing, cell repair, replace cells, hormones used as fuel when carbs or fats not availiable
Digestion(A) food is broken down both chemically and physically
Absorption(B) when broken down food molecules pass from GI tract into blood
Elimination(C) undigested food is removed from GI tract
Mouth mechanical digestion, teeth cut and grind
Chewing increase surface are for chemical digestion
Salivary Glands secrete saliva which moistens food and contains enzymes to chemically break apart carbs
Salivary Amalyse chemical digestion breaks down starch or polysaccarides into smaller pieces, eventually maltose
Bolus moistened chewed up food that's swallowed
Swallowing when bolus moves to back of mouth, it sends signal to close off nasal passages and epiglottis
Epiglottis door that covers trachea and opens esophagus
Esophagus tube that connects mouth to stomach
Perstalsis wave of squeezing and pushing contraction that moves food in one direction through the GI tract from esophagus to anus
Gastroesophageal Sphincter door that separates stomach from esophagus, allows food into stomach, protects esophagus from gastric juices but in relaxed state results in heartburn
Stomach Organ where food is digested, churned and stored up to 2hrs until emptied into small intestine
Gastric juices HCL(helps soften food and kills bacteria), Pepsin(breaks peptide bonds and protein digestion begins)
Mucus lining Secreted by the stomach, protects stomach from HCL and Pepsin
Ulcers mucus lining compromised by either bacteria H. Pylori or NSAID(tylenol, aspirin)
Chyme Food, gastric juices, water churned to mix > increase surface area
Pyloric Sphincter relaxes and releases chyme into the small intestine
Small Intestine Where digestion and absorption occur, takes 3-6 hrs for food to pass and be absorbed
Circular Folds(lining in SI) increase surface area
Villi(lining in SI) finger like projections, constantly moving to trap nutrients
Microvilli(lining in SI) hairlike projections, house and secrete enzymes
Brush Boarder Enzyme secreted by microvilli
Disaccaridases(BBE) breaks down maltose(maltase), Sucrose(sucrase), Lactose(lactase)
Aminopeptidases(BBE) breaks N-side of amino acid
Large Intestine receives liquid residue after digestion and absorption are complete in SI, stored for 12-24hrs
Diahhrea less than 12 hrs, dehydration
Constipation greater than 24 hrs
Accessory Organs Not part of GI tract(food does not pass through) but is necessary for digestion
Gallbladder Stores bile, release bile into small intestine, breaks down fat further
Pancreas makes,holds and secretes digestive enzymes, produces and secretes insulin and glucogen
Bicarbonate Ion(Pancreatic Juice) neutralizes acidic chyme as it enters SI
Pancreatic Amalyse(Pancreatic Juice) finishes breaking polysaccarides into disaccarides
Lipases(Pancreatic Juice) break down lipids into fatty acids and monoglycerides
Trypsin(Pancreatic Juice) Further breaks down
Liver Makes bile, nutrients absorbed from SI travel through portal vein to the liver, acts as filter for toxins, creates urea, monosaccarides converted to glucose
Lipoprotein(LDL) bad/high cholesterol, low density/protein
LDL Delivers cholesterol to the cells
Fact of LDL More cholesterol in the blood, the more cells get attached to artery, hardening and causing plaque due to saturated and trans fats
Lipoprotein(HDL) high density, circulates in blood and delivers cholesterol to liver(clean up arteries)
Fact of HDL more excersize, omega 3 fatty acid consumption
Lipoproteins(VLDL) very low density, mostly triglyceride, stored in adapose tissue, increase with high diet of simple sugars
Total Cholesterol <200mg/DL
HDL cholesterol >40mg/DL
LDL cholesterol <100mg/DL
Atherosclerosis Hardening and narrowing of arteries due to buildup of plaque, leads to heart disease
Risk factors of atherosclerosis obesity, family history, age and gender, physically inactive, diabetes, smoking
Type I Diabetes abt 14 yrs old, extreme hunger, unusual weight loss, extreme thirst...cannot make insulin
Type II Diabetes Overweight or obese, same symptoms as type I
Treatments for diabetes pills, diet, excersize, insulin

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
