· Define the four stages of food processing
o Ingestion
o Digestion
o Absorption
o Elimination
§ Not the same as excretion
Why is it necessary to break down food?
o Breakdown protein by human digestive system
o Absorption of amino acids by cells lining the small intestine
o Cells use amino acids to produce new human protein
What is the difference between mechanical and chemical digestion?
o Mechanical digestion
§ Increases surface area
o Chemical digestion
§ Macromolecule
Monomer
§ Digestive enzymes
§ Hydrolysis water is need to break down (dehydration is opposite)
How do animals digest their food without digesting themselves?
o Compartmentation
§ Mucus coating
§ Cell replacement
o Digestive tube or alimentary canal
§ Tube with to openings
§ Specialized areas digest/ absorb
§ Accessory organs (liver, gallbladder)
· Altimetry canal
o oral cavity, tongue, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon of large intestine,
appendix, rectum, anus
· the mouth: what is its functions?
o Ingestion
o Teeth
o Saliva
§ Salivary amylase
o Tongue
§ Skeletal muscle
§ Taste receptors
§ Manipulates ingested food
· What is the pharynx and its function?
o Throat
§ Breathing
· Air flowing into open trachea

§ Swallowing
o Swallowing reflex
§ Larynx moves up
§ Epiglottis
· What is the role of the esophagus?
o Muscular tube (skeletal and smooth)
o Mouth-stomach connector
o Peristalsis
o No role in absorption
§ One-way flow
§ What about vomiting
· What is the role of the stomach?
o Food storage
o Mechanical digestion
o Mucus production
Chemical digestion
§ Chyme (gastric juice + food)
§ Gastric juice
· HCl
· Pepsin (digests proteins)
· What is the role of the small intestine?
o Duodenum receives
§ Chyme, pancreas juice, and bile
o Chemical digestion: proteins, fats, carbs and nucleic acids
o Absorption
§ Bloodstream (sugars and amino acids)
§ Lymph (fats)
· What is the role of the large intestine?
o LI colon = colon, appendix, rectum, anal canal
o Process undigested material
§ Feces formation
o Re-absorption of water
o Vitamins produced by intestinal bacteria
§ Vitamin K and biotin
· What are the accessory organs and what are their digestive functions?
o Salivary glands: produces saliva, helps break down carbohydrates, lubricates
o Liver: process the nutrients absorbed from the small intestine
o Gall bladder: sac under liver: stores bile
o pancreas: releases powerful digestive enzymes into the small intestine to aid the digestion of
food. It releases the hormones insulin and glucagon into the bloodstream
bile=bile acid

Character 22: Human Nutrition
· What are basic human nutritional requirements?
o Fuel
o Building blocks
§ Organic molecules containing C,O,H,N,P
o Essential nutrients: must be obtained in food
§ Cannot be synthesized by organisms(humans)
· Essential amino acids
o 8 of 20 amino acids are essential
o Can all be contained from meat
· Essential fatty acids
· Vitamins
· Minerals
· What are essential nutrients?
o Essential amino acids(8)
o Essential fatty acids
§ Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids
o Minerals
§ Inorganic
§ Calcium, iron, iodine, potassium, etc.
o Vitamins
§ Organic molecules
§ A,B,C,D,E,K
· What are vitamins?
o A:precursor to pigment important for vision
o B:precursors to molecules important for aerobic respiration(breaking glucose into oxygen,
catalyst is heat)
o C:Anitoxidant, important for collagen synthesis
o D:Absorption of calcium and phosphorus for bone growth
o E:Antioxidant
o K:precursor for blood clotting molecules
· What are minerals?
· What are the basic functions of the vitamins?
Chapter 23:Circulatory System
Why is the circulatory system needed in complex organisms?
· Singe cell vs multicellular organism
What are the two main methods that gases, nutrients, and wastes are transported to cells?
· Bulk flow high level of pressure to low level of pressure
· Membrane transport :kind of like a wall
o Diffusion: moving from higher areas of concentration to lower areas of concentration
§ Ex. Perfume spreading

Document Summary

Define the four stages of food processing: ingestion, digestion, absorption, elimination. Why is it necessary to break down food: breakdown protein by human digestive system, absorption of amino acids by cells lining the small intestine, cells use amino acids to produce new human protein. What is the difference between mechanical and chemical digestion: mechanical digestion. Hydrolysis water is need to break down (dehydration is opposite) How do animals digest their food without digesting themselves: compartmentation. Cell replacement: digestive tube or alimentary canal. Altimetry canal: oral cavity, tongue, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon of large intestine, appendix, rectum, anus. The mouth: what is its functions: ingestion, teeth, saliva. What is the pharynx and its function: throat. What is the role of the esophagus: muscular tube (skeletal and smooth, mouth-stomach connector, peristalsis, no role in absorption. What is the role of the stomach: food storage, mechanical digestion, mucus production. What is the role of the small intestine: duodenum receives.
