individuals
Nutritional needs
Cultural
Economic
Psychological Situations and Styles
HEAT AND ENERGY
FATS & CARBOHYDRATES
FORM TISSUES OR BODY BUILDING
PROTEIN
IN THE FOOD THAT NOURISH THE BODY
CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES
2 TYPES OF NUTRIENTS
ORGANIC & INORGANIC
THEY ___________ NEEDED BY THE BODY
PROVIDE ENERGY & RAW MATERIALS
2 NUTRIENTS UNDER INORGANIC
WATER & MINERAL SALTS
IT CONTAINS CARBON
ORGANIC NUTRIENTS
IT DOES NOT CONTAIN CARBON
INORGANIC NUTRIENTS
WHAT THE 5 NUTRIENTS UNDER ORGANIC
CARBOHYDRATES
FATS
PROTEINS
VITAMINS
DIETARY FIBRE
nourishes the body.
vital need without which a person cannot live.
supplies heat and energy.
builds and repairs body tissues.
regulates body processes.
FOOD
large amounts/ little amounts.
CONCENTRATION
based on their
significant contribution to the body’s physiological
functioning
ESSENTIALITY
process of breaking down food into
substances like carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and vitamins that aid the body in its different functions.
DIGESTION
(also called the GI system) is important to assess because it
is responsible for nutrition, digestion, absorption, hydration, and defecation. You
may also have heard it
THE GASTROINTESTINAL SYSTEM
WHAT ARE THE 3 GI SYSTEM COMPONENTS?
- UPPER GI TRACT
- LOWER GI TRACT
- ACCESSORY GLANDS AND ORGANS
(oral cavity, esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine [i.e., the duodenum]).
UPPER GI TRACT
(small and large intestine, rectum, anus).
LOWER GI TRACT
(salivary glands, liver,
pancreas, gallbladder) and lymphatic organs and tissue (tonsils, spleen, appendix)
ACCESSORY GLANDS AND ORGANS
THE ONE WHO IS CHEWING/ BREAKING DOWN OF FOOD
MOUTH
SALIVARY GLANDS
ACCESSORY GLAND
THE ONE DIGEST CARBS
AMYLASE
THE ONE WHO DIGEST FATS
LIPASE
OTHER WORD FOR CHYME (STOMACH)
CHURNING
DOWN TO THE ESOPHAGUS
BOLUS
pancreatic amylase
, p lipase , trypsin and
chymotrypsin
PANCREAS
Liver secretes bile
Bile manufactured in the liver and stored and secreted in the
gallbladder
PYLORIC SPHINCTER AND DOUDENUM
is about 6 meters or 20 feet long
SMALL INTESTINE
WHERE DOES BILE STORED AND SECRETED?
GALLBLADDER
is about 1.5 meters or 5 feet long
LARGE INTESTINE
WHERE DOES macro and micro nutrients CAN BE FOUND?
SMALL INTESTINE
WHERE DOES water, Accessory organ , ileocecal , appendix CAN BE FOUND?
LARGE INTESTINE
any of numerous
columnar, absorptive, epithelial cells that line the villi of the small intestine and have
microvilli projecting from the `cell membrane to form a brush
border.
ENTEROCYTES
are the central
lymphatic vessels in the villi of the small intestine and perform
nutrient absorption, especially dietary lipids, and the transportation of antigen and antigen-presenting cells
LACTEALS
