lecture exam 4- Ch.25 Flashcards
process of breaking down food into simpler forms through mechanical & chemical manipulation in the gastrointestinal tract (GI); resulting in absorption of nutrients
digestion
entry of material in mouth
ingestion
churning, segmentation, & grinding of ingested food
mechanical digestion
acid, enzymes, buffers, & emulsifying salts secreted to break chemical bonds
chemical digestion
movement of simplified macronutrients, micronutrients, & water into interstitial fluid of GI tract
absorption
unabsorbed ingesta, undigested food, metabolic waste, sloughed cells of GI lining & bacteria
excretion
dehydration & compaction of waste material; fecal formation
compaction
food –> ____ –> ___
bolus; chyme
individual amino acids & peptides
proteins
micelles, spheres of FAs & monoglycerides
fats
- simple sugar (monosaccharides): fructose, glucose
- structural carbohydrates: fiber is not absorbed
sugars
diffuses through SI & LI
water
some diffuse; many use micelles
- vitamins: C, B12, E, K
- minerals: calcium, phosphorus, iron
micronutrients
enzymes rely on specific pHs; concentration of H+
- stomach pH pf 2
- SI pH of 4
pH
inner lining of GI tract; mucous membrane
mucosa
exocrine; large lymphatic & vasculature
submucosa
propels ingesta; form sphincters
