5 survival needs of human Flashcards
chemical substances required by the body to sustain basic functions
nutrients
major energy-providing fuel for body cells
will perform metabolic process which the ________ turn into glucose
carbohydrates
essential for building cell structures
muscle growth and repair
protein
a cushion for body organs and provide reserved fuel (turns into sugar and serves as energy pag walang nakain)
fats
required for the chemical reactions that go on in cells and for oxygen transport in the blood
minerals and vitamins
why does the nutrients in our body useless if there’s no oxygen?
because the chemical reactions that releases nutrients from food requires oxygen.
human cells can survive only a few minutes without it.
it is made available to the blood and body cells by the cooperative efforts of the respiratory and cardiovascular system.
oxygen
60-80% of our body weights
helps in energy transport
single most abundant chemical substance in the body and provides the liquid base for body secretions and excretion. we obtain _______ from ingestion of food etc.
water
metabolic reactions become slower and slower and finally stop if this drops.
if too high chemical reactions proceeds too rapidly (dangerous)
most body heat is generated by the activity of the ___________________ and dissipated via blood circulating close to the skin surface by the evaporation of sweat.
normal body temperature
skeletal muscles
the air presses against everything if touches
if there is high amount of pressure, our body could crash.
if low our low organs could expand and be crushed as well.
atmospheric pressure
The mere presence of these survival factors is not sufficient to maintain life. The must be present in appropriate amounts as well
