What is water?
True or false
100% of our daily water need are met by drinking water.
**False: **Fruits, vegetables (whole or in the form of juice or soup), as well as milk help meet our daily water need.
JEOPARDY!
Substances that the human body requires in small amounts.
What are vitamins?
JEOPARDY!
Without vitamins, the body would be enable to perform the following fonctions (4):
What are
1. contributing to chemical reactions
2. helping in energy production
3. helping fight off infections by strengthening the body
4. repairing damaged tissue?
JEOPARDY!
Substances of mineral origin that make up about 4% of the weight of the human body.
What are minerals?
JEOPARDY!
Substance found in food that is used by the body to meet important needs.

What are
1. Water,
2. vitamins and
3. minerals ?
Identify
Minerals are required for the body to perform the following fonctions (4)
- building tissue (e.g. bones and teeth)
- maintaining fluid balance in the body
- helping muscles contract
- transporting oxygen in the blood
Identify
4 fonctions of the digestive system
Ingestion and propulsion of food
Digestion of food
Absorption of nutrients
Elimination of fecal matter
Fill the blanks
On a nutrition facts table, the ___ is a quick reference to tell you if a food product contains a little or a lot of a certain nutrient:
___ DV or less is a little
___ DV or more is a lot
%DV
5%
15%
Identify
Refers to the muscular contractions of
esophagus, stomach, small and large
intestines that move substances through the digestive tracts
peristalsis
Identify
also known as deglutition
Swallowing
Identify
transformation of food into
nutrients that the body can use
Digestion of food
Mechanical transformation of food
Food is physically broken down into smaller substances to prepare for chemical transformations
Chewing(teeth used to crush and grind food)
Churning (muscle contractions with mix food withsecretions from digestive system…in stomach andsmall intestine)
The digestive tract breaks down the complex molecules of food into simple molecules. There is much help of secretion from digestive glands
during this process
Chemical transformation
Organs and glands responsible for the chemical transformation of food
Salivary gland (saliva)
Gastric glands (gastric juice)
Intestinal glands (intestinal juice)
Pancreas (Pancreatic juice)
Liver (Bile)
Mostly occurs in small intestine which contain
folds called VILLI.
Absorption of nutrients
