Exam 1 August 2019 Flashcards
Big Ideas: Digestion
- Digestion is a North to South process.
- The big 3 organs from a nutritional standpoint are Stomach, Pancreas, and Gallbladder. (SPG)
- Digestion is fundamental to nutritional therapy.
Glycogenolysis
Process of converting glycogen back into glucose as needed for fuel.
during Digestion, what happens in the Duodenum?
- Secretin triggers release of Bicarbonate & Pancreatic Enzymes
- CCK stimulates Gallbladder to release Bile
during Digestion, what happens in the Stomach?
- Gastric juice incl Pepsinogen/Pepsin & HCl
- HCl triggers Gastrin
- Chyme pH 1.5-3.0
Gluconeogenesis
Process of protein conversion to glucose within the liver.
Optimal range for blood glucose as regulated by the CNS
70-90 mg/dL (3.9-5.0 mmol/L)
What is the Sanchez-Cuenca Test for?
to determine general allergic tension
Optimal level of blood glucose
70-90 mg/dl (3.9-5.0 mmol/L)
What exists between the Small and Large Intestines?
Ileocecal Valve
Glycogenesis
synthesis of glycogen from excess blood glucose that occurs chiefly in the liver (100g) and skeletal muscles (400g)
When LNT for BSR, where should the start point be?
Organ (P.A.L) with highest FE score, then work N to S
FE. Order of Organs Tested (acronym)
Sugar Handling FOUNDATION
A.P.L.
Adrenal
Pancreas
Liver
Hormone antagonistic to Glucagon
Insulin
Gluconeogenesis
conversion of protein to glucose that occurs in the liver
Glycogenesis
Process of excess blood glucose stored as glycogen in liver and skeletal muscles
List the Steps of the Consultation Process
- Conduct Initial Interview and have client sign Disclaimer
- Review Food&Mood Journal and NAQ
- Conduct Functional Evaluation (LNT included)
- Provide Recommendations and Discuss Plan
- Schedule Follow-up Sessions
LNT: what is layering?
combining multiple supplements for a single LNT reading
Glucagon
pancreatic hormone which triggers the release of stored energy for use in the body
Name: the synthesis of glycogen from glucose that occurs in the liver and skeletal muscles
glycogenesis
Anatomy Directional Terms

4 Roles of Fats in Body
- Source of energy
- Building blocks for cell membranes & hormones
- Makes fat-soluble vitamins more bioavailable
- Increases satiety
