EXAM 4 Flashcards
What is metabolism?
all chemical reactions within cells, catabolic (break) or anabolic (make)
what do we take in?
nutrients (hopefully) =carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, vitamins, minerals, water
why are we hungry? what stimulates hunger? hypothalamus regulates….
hypothalamus regulates feeding(hunger) and satiety (fullness)
*both neural and hormonal controls
what happens to food? large to small.. broken from complex…
to simple(small carbon chains {C-
C-C-C-C-C}glucose–in digestive system
Triglycerides are…
monoglycerides and fatty acids
cells use small carbon chains to make how many glucose..
36ATP glucose
aerobic cellular respiration includes:
1. Glycolysis(located in cytoplasm) goes to …>
glucose >2pyruvate and 2 ATP (electron carriers)
aerobic cellular respiration includes:
2. preparatory reaction>
2 pyruvate >2 acetyl CoA
Aerobic cellular Respiration includes:
Citric Acid Cycle/Krebs Cycle>
2 Acetyl CoA >released as CO2
Oxidative Phosphorylation (most critical step)>
Most ATP
Molecular Equation of aerobic cell respiration:
C6H12O6 + >CO2 + H2O + energy (ATP)
Gastro-intestinal (GI)
esophagus>anus
innermost to outmost layers:
mucosa
submucosa
muscularis
serosa
mucosa is the innermost layer and it has…
contact with food, is primarily epithelial tissue (columnar and goblet cells)
submucosa is what kind of tissue>
connective tissue with blood and lymph vessels and glands
muscularis has two layers.
smooth muscle (Involuntary)
skeletal muscle (voluntary) -anal and esophagal) @beginning and end of tract
serosa has three layers…
connective tissue layers (serous membranes):
serosa are made up of
visceral peritoneum (abdomen) >covers abdominal organs.
-parietal peritoneum>lines cavity wall
-peritoneal extensions(beyond peritoneum)>mesentery, greater omentum(hangs down off organ)
Functions: How do we transfer nutrients from external to internal environment(food to cells)?
-Ingest(into mouth)
-Digest (chemical and mechanical)
-Egest (defecation, eliminate waste)
-Secretion (mucus, enzymes)
-Absorption (Most Important!!) simple molecules pass into blood or lymph vessels
–small intestine>absorbs all nutrients
–large intestine>absorbs water, vitamins
Types of Digestion:
chemical digestion>
catabolic process, enzymes break complex molecules into simple
Types of Digestion:
Mechanical digestion>
phsyical (churned segmentation etc) movements of digestive tract (increases surface area for enzymes)
