BIO-digestive

QuestionAnswer
Digestive system functions Take in and breakdown foodstuffs
Digestion types mechanical - where food product stays the same, but is broken down into little pieces chemical.- uses different enzymes and acids to change the foodstuffs
alimentary canal wall mucosa - inner layer made of mucus membrane, where absorption occurs submucosa - made of connective tissue, nourishes nearby cells muscularis - made of muscle tissue, moves food through canal serosa - outer layer, secretes serous fluid, reduces frictio
movements of alimentary canal - segmentation - small pockets for food to move through system - peristalsis - wavelike motion for food to propel materials
Alimentary canal, pt. 1 - oral cavity - cheeks, lips, teeth, tongue, salivary glands (parotid, submandibular, sublingual, amalyse - enzyme released in saliva to begin breakdown - both mechanical and chemical breakdown
Pharynx nasopharynx, oropharynx, laryngopharynx epiglottis blaocks food from entering trachea
esophagus lies behind trachea, segmentation, peristalsis - mechanical breakdown
stomach - rugae - inner folds within stomach - made of multiple muscle layers going in different directions - makes gastric juices - hydrochloric acid is main acid - produces/releases enzymes / hormones - forms chyme
structure of stomach - cardia - where esophagus enters stomach - fundus, body, pyloris, sphincters - tops is weak, bottom is strong to allow for vomiting
stomach absoprtion some water, some alcohol, lipid soluble drugs
stomach digestion type(s) stomach goes in different directions to churn and mix chemicals, so this is both mechanical and chemical
vomitting "reverse emptying," controlled by medulla oblongata
accessory organs - pancreas produces hormones, releases enzymes, forms pancreatic juices, helpful in breaking down proteins, carbohydrates, lipids
Liver filters and detoxifies blood, bile, produces bile - bile salts breakdown lipids and are the only part of bile that breaks anything down
Gallbladder - stores excess bile, releases it when needed, carb/fat heavy diet will release it when needed
small intestines receive... - chyme from stomach - pancreatic juices / bile from pancreas, liver, gallbladder,
small intestine sections - duodenum - short, where chyme/pancreatic juice/bile is deposited - jejunum - middle portion - ileum - distal portion, leads to large intestine, where most absorption of solids occurs -- villi - fingerlike projections increase surface area
mesentary of small intestine tissue network that holds small intestine together and anchors it to large intestine
Large intestine (colon) Absorbs water and electrolytes sections: secum, appendix, colon (ascending, transverve, descending) - mechanical digestion
Large intestine (end parts) rectum - straight portion anal canal - pathway out of the body anus - opening for exit
feces 75% water undigested material mucus
3 classifications of nutrients - macronutrients - you need a lot of them (proteins, lipids, carbs) - micronutrients - you only need small amounts, ex: vitamins / minerals - essential nutrients - we cannot make them ourselves
calories unit of heat, energy you get from food
carbohydrates (3 types) - monosacharides, disacharides, polysacharides - daily diet 125-175g per day
lipids (fats) saturated - have all possible hydrogens, no double/triple bonds unsaturated - have double/triple bonds
daily diet, fat less than 30% of daily calorie count should be fat
protein .8 g per kg of bodyweight is guideline
protein make up amino acids, we need to take in 8 of the 20 because we don't produce them, the source is meat
Vitamins Fat soluble - A, D, E, K, not destroyed in cooking water soluble - B, C are destroyed in cooking
minerals - come from the earth via a plant or animal that ate the plant - 4% of body weight, calcium and phosphorus most prominent
trace elements we only need small amounts, we already have enough for for the most parts -- iron, maganese, cobalt, flourine
body mass index weight divided by height
two diets - vegan pro - weight management, heart health con - nutritional gaps - paleo - mimics ancestral eating pro - weight loss, reduced processed food, inflammation con - potential for vitamin deficiency
where does protein digestion occur oral cavity, small intestines
where does carbohydrate digestion occur stomach
where does fat digestion occur small intestine
digestive disorders celiac disease - autoimmune reaction to gluten acid reflux - stomach acid flows back into esophagus, causing heartburn
