exam 3 Flashcards
excessive water ingestion within a few hours (10 to 20 liters) within a few hours dilutes the sodium concentration of the blood and contributes to a danger condition known as
hyponatremia
what is central to the regulation of blood volume and blood pressure; homeostasis of bodily fluids
kidneys
to control the movement of water, the cells direct the movement of the major minerals
sodium, chloride, potassium, calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, and sulfur
the rate at and the extent to which a nutrient is absorbed and used
bioavailability
the american heart association goal is to lower blood pressure by reducing sodium intake to
less than 1500 milligrams a day
DASH diet - what does it stand for
dietary approaches to stop hypertension
what is dash diet effective in
lowering blood pressure
only 1 percent of calcium goes to
body fluids
other 99 percent of calcium goes to
bones and teeth
what does calcium do in bones
provides rigid framework that holds the body upright
what other things calcium does
maintain blood pressure, blood clotting, muscle contraction and relaxation, nerve functioning
calcium role
serves as calcium bank, offering a readily available source of calcium to body fluids should a drop in blood calcium occur
when there is low blood calcium, what stimulates CALCIUM reabsorption from kidneys into blood
vitamin D
what does vitamin D do in intestines associated with low blood calcium- to try to up calcium
enhances calcium absorption in intestines
what does vit D do in bones to help raise blood calcium
stimulates osteoclast cells to break down bone, releasing calcium into blood
vitamin D helps to make the what needed for calcium absorption
calcium-binding protein
factors that enhance nonheme iron absorption
MFP factor, vitamin C (ascorbic acid), acids (citric and lactic), and sugars(fructose)
can serve as a cofactor to enzymes involved in the numerous oxidation-reduction reactions that commonly occur in all cells
iron
enzymes involved in making amino acids, collagen, hormones, and neurotransmitters all require
iron
forms a part of electron carriers that participate in etc
iron
in red blood cells; where iron is found
hemoglobin
in muscle cells; where iron is found
myoglobin
who does iron deficiency affect the most
toddlers, adolescent girls, and women of childbearing age
the craving and consumption of ice, chalk, starch , and other nonfood substances; iron deficiency
pica
what is the worlds major source of iodine
the ocean
other sources of iodine
kelp, seafood, water, sea mist, salt that is iodized
eating as few a day as what improves selenium status
2 brazil nuts
what is a disease of copper deficiency
menkes disease
what is a disease of copper toxicity
wilson’s disease
the intestinal cells absorb copper, but cannot release it into circulation causing life threatening deficiency
menkes disease
copper accumulates in the liver and brain, creating a life-threatening toxicity
wilson’s disease
most of manganese can be found in the bones and metabolically active organs such as the
liver kidney and pancreas
present in virtually all soils, water supplies, plants, and animals; drinking water(if fluoridated), tea, seafood
fluoride
to gain muscle tissue, protein synthesis must be greater than degradation called
hypertrophy
becoming smaller; with regard to muscles, a decrease in size and strength because of disuse, undernutrition, or wasting disease; when protein degradation if greater than synthesis
atrophy
the ability of muscles to work against resistance
muscle strength
strength example exercises
pull-ups, pushups situps weightlifting pilates
