Cards

Term
digestion vs absorption
Definition
food to nutrients
nutrients to cells
Term
hunger
Definition
physiological sensation which leads us to eating
Term
appetite
Definition
psychological desire to eat certain types of food
Term
chemical digestion
Definition
use of ENZYMES to break down the micromolecules into building blocks
Term
mechanical digestion
Definition
use of FORCE to reduce the size of big molecules
Term
peristalsis
Definition
worm like movement in esophagus and other organs
Term
segmentation

heart burn
Term
how many organs and accessory organs for digestion
Definition
5 major organs, 3 accessory organs

mouth, esoph, stomach, small inst., large inst.

liver, gall bladder, pancreas
Term
regullar digestion: mouth
Definition
mouth: teeth, tongue, saliva
chewing
saliva: lubrication, bicarbonate: neutralizes acid, lysozymes: antibacterial, salivary amylase: enzyme
Term
bicarbonate
Definition
alkaline which neutralizes weak acid
Term
lysozymes
Definition
weak antibacterial agent
Term
salivary amylase
Definition
enzyme that acts on carbohydrate
Term
regular digstion: esophagus
Definition
transfers bolus to stomach
Term
regular digstion: stomach
Definition
hydrochloric acid
intrinsic factor(IF): aids in b12 absoprtion
pepsin (protease): proteins
Term
regular digestion: small intestines
Definition
duodenum: recieves digestive juices from gallbladder and pancreas
major site of digestion
Term
gallbladder
Definition
stores bile made by the liver
bile helps in fat digestion
Term
pancreas
Definition
bicarbonate, lipase, protease, amylase
Term
jejunum
Definition
absoprtion cell
Term
protein break down
Definition
proteim> (protease)> amino acids
Term
carbohydrate break down
Definition
carb> amylase> glucose
Term
fat break down
Definition
fat> bile/lipase> fatty acid and glycerol
Term
passive (simple) diffusion
Definition
free movement of molecules from higher to lower concentration until equilibrium
Term
facilitated diffusion
Definition
free movement of molecules from higher to lower with the help of carrier (protein)
Term
active transport
Definition
forecful movement of moleules from lower to higher concentration with the use of atp
Term
endocytosis
Definition
engulfs things
Term
4 ways for cellular transport
Definition
passive(simple), facilitated, active, endocytosis
Term
regular digestion: colon
Definition
absorption of water and some water soluble material
Term
minimum amount of carbohydrate
Definition
c6h1206

n= 6
Term
types of carbohydrates
Definition
simple> monosaccharide and dissachride
complex(POLYSACCHARIDE)> starch(pasta rice) and fiber (SOLUBLE: rice, bananas, apples)AND INSOLUB: crunch begtables and whole grain) and glycogen
Term
monosaccharides
Definition
1 unit: glucose, fructose and galactose
Term
disacharrides
Definition
maltose: gluc and gluc
sucrose: gluc and fruc
lactose: gluc and galact
Term
starch
Definition
many molecules of glucose attached in a linear way

pasta, rice, grains, potato, corn
Term
fiber
Definition
many glucose molecules NOT LINEAR
2 types: soluble: can be dissolved in water
insoluble: can not:
Term
soluble fiber
Definition
can be dissolved in water
rice, bananas, pear, apple, beans
produces gel like material in GI
25-30 grams a day
PECTIN
Term
insoluble fiber
Definition
can not be dissolved in water
cellulose and lignin
bulk of stool, easy bowl movement
vetables(crunchy) whole grains
Term
glycogen
Definition
same structure as starch but is synthesized in liver and muscles
storage in liver/muscles, breaks down when no food
JUST ENZYMES FROM STARCH INTAKE
Term
normal blood glucose level
Definition
70-110 mg a day; 8-12 hours of gylcogen
Term
carbohydrate digestion: mouth
Definition
mouth: chewing/saliva> lubricates and salivary amylase
Term
esophagus: carb digestion
Definition
no chemical digestion"bolus"
Term
stomach: carb digetion
Definition
nothing for carbs
Term
small inste: carb digstion
Definition
dueod: reieves pancreatice amylase> more surface area and time
starch>mon>dis

jejun/ileum: absorption
Term
absoprtion of carbohydrates
Definition
mon: pass by easier
disach: lactase, sucrase, maltase break them

absorbed in blood> thru portal vein and then goes to liver: all glucose then general circulation

converted to glycogen when down
Term
hypoglycemia
Definition
needs sugar; less than 50 mg and dead
Term
why do we need carbs?
Definition
major energy source> brain and red blood cell

fiber: healthy gi tract
25-30 mg

45-65% energy intake

never below 130 grams of carb
Term
lipids
Definition
anything with c, h or O and insoluble in water

fat is edible lipid
Term
visible lipids vs invisible
Definition
butter, oo, lard, beef tallow

milk, cookies, chocolate
Term
tryglycerides (TG)
Definition
99% of all fats
2 types: saturated and unsaturated
Term
saturated fat
Definition
solid at rt
animal fat
SAFA
one bond
7%
Term
lipids
Definition
anything with c, h, o and insoluble in water
visible vs invisible fats
Term
triglycerides (TG)
Definition
99% of all fats
glycerol and 3 fatty acids
Term
unsaturated: monounsaturated
Definition

Definition
pufa
more than 1 double bond
safflouwer, sunflower, veg, peanutc
8%
Term
phospolipids
Definition
lecithin
glycerol and 2 FA and phosphate
more polar=more solubility
phospolipid bilayer: water and fat together
bile
Term

Definition
cholesterol
phytosterol: no cholesterol from plants
Term
fat digestion: mouth
Definition
chewing: mechanical
body temperature: melts solid fat
Term
fat digestion: esophagus
Definition
nothing, transfers bolus to stomach
Term
fat digestion: stomach
Definition
NOTHING
Term
fat digestion: small intest
Definition
duod: bile from gall bladder> emulsifies fat
emusified fat to glycerol fatty acid from pancreatic lipase

jej/ill: absorption

turned into lipoproteins "soluble in water" also "chylomiecron"
Term
lymph vessel lacteal
Definition
fat digestion not thru blood but thru lymph nodes> phosp and sterol go to lymp then heat then aorta

leftover sent to liver to reuse?
Term
HDL
Definition
cholesterol from tissues to liver
