exam Flashcards
what is hunger
the physiological response to satisfy a need for food
what is appetite
the desire for food even when your not necessarily hungry
what is satiety
a state or feeling of fullness after eating
what is sensory appreciation
the information humans get from their senses about food and how they interpret the information
what is mechanical digestion
the use of physical force like chewing to break down food
what is chemical digestion
the break down of food using chemicals like enzymes and acids
what does the mouth do to digest chemically
salivary glands start the break down of carbs into simple sugars
what does the stomach do to digest chemically
acid in the stomach activates lingual lipase and gastric lipase breaking fats into fatty acids
what does the liver do to digest food both chemically and mechanically
the liver produces bile that mixes with chime in the small intestine making soluble fats
what does the gall bladder to to digest both mechanically and chemically
stores and releases bile into the small intestine
what does the pancreas do to digest (only) chemically
the pancreas secretes enzymes (pancreatic amylase, protease, pancreatic lipase) breaking them down using enzymatic hydrolysis
what does the small intestine do to digest chemically and mechanically
enzymes from the liver, gall bladder, and pancreas are released into the deododum using enzymatic hydrolysis where all nutrients are absorbed into the villi and line the small intestine
what does the large intestine do to digest chemically
gut microbiota breaks down fibre which secretes into faeces
what does the mouth do to digest mechanically
the teeth bite down and break down the food into a bolis
what does the stomach do to digest mechanically
the muscular walls of the stomach contract to churn and further break down the bolis in chime
what does the large intestine do to digest mechanically
faeces are removed from the body using muscle contractions
what is enzymatic hydrolysis
a chemical digestion process that breaks down food such as salivary amylayse
how is fat digested
-lingual lipase is released by saliva but doesnt begin until the stomach
-acid in stomach activate lingual and gastric lipase beginning digestion
-the liver produces bile that mixes with chime into small intestine
-bile is digested fluid produced by the liver and stored in the gall bladder and then released into the small intestine
how is fat absorbed
fatty acids and glycerol are absorbed into the villi of the small intestine and mixed with lymphatic fluid, moving around the body in the lymphatic system joining blood circulation as insoluble fats
how is fat utilised
is used for insulation and protection around the vital organs and can be used as a secondary energy source
how are cabs digested
-salivary amylase being the break down of carbs into simple sugars
what is resistant starch
travels undigested to large intestine, feeds good bacteria in the large intestine
found in - chicken, peas, kidney beans
what is soluble fibre
completely broken down by bacteria and has favourable affects on blood cholesterol
found in plant cells like- lentils, barley and oats
what is insoluble fibre
cant be digested is bulky and absorbs water making us feel full without requiring extra calories/ adding weight
found in the plant cell wall like- whole food, nuts and seeds
