What is CHYME? (definition)
The acidic fluid consisting of gastric juices and partly digested food that passes from the stomach to the small intestine is known as chyme.
What is BOLUS? (definition)
The food that gets chewed and mixed up with saliva is termed a bolus.
The more activity…
…the more Total daily energy expenditure (TDEE)
Examples of gastric secretions:
- Hydrochloric Acid
- The intrinsic factor
- Enzymes
- Glycoproteins
- Musin
What’s included in bile?
Bilirubin, Bile Acid, Cholesterol, Electrolytes, Water
What is the main function of bile?
Emulsification (bile acid)
pH of chyme is:
pH2
pH of Pancreatic Juice is
pH12
What is the difference in pH in the stomach and intestine?
pH in intestine is higher than pH in stomach.
What is needed to lose weight?
more physical activity
Function of proteins?
Protein helps repair and build your body’s tissues. It drives metabolic reactions, maintains pH and fluid balance, and keeps the immune system strong. It also transports and stores nutrients and can act as an energy source.

Basal metabolism is the same as
Resting Metabolic Rate
What contains nitrogen and what doesn’t?

What is the function of the small intestine?
To absorb nutrients
What is the function of the large intestine?
To absorb water
What are the flaps in the intestines used for?
more area of absorption
Anabolism is to
Build up
Catabolism is to
Break down
What is the formula for TDEE?
BMR Basal Metabolic Rate x Activity factor = TDEE
