Large hollow organs that propel food forward

29
Q

Describe the process of absorption that occurs at various stages along the digestive tract

A

Mouth,peristalsis, through the sphincter to the stomach,churning small intestine And stuff

30
Q

Name the three different biochemical food groups

A

Proteins-broken into amino acids
Lipids-make up structure of cells (these are fat stuff)
Carbohydrates-broken down to produce glucose which the primary fuel for energy

31
Q

Uses of pancreas liver and gall bladder in digestion

A

Liver-process neutrinos before entering blood stream secrets bile into SI

Pancreas-produces enzymes and hormones to break down food

Gall bladder- holds bile

32

Breaks down lipids (fat) into glycerol and fatty acids

33
Q

Trypsin and protease do what

A

Break down proteins into amino acids

34
Q

What are amino acids

A

They are reassembled into the body’s new protein and create the structure for cells

35
Q

What is the difference between essential and non-essential amino acids

A

Essential is proteins your body cannot make and just be optioned by food and opposite for other

36
Q

What is monosaccharides

A

Example maltose

Used as an energy storage

38
Q

What is soluble fiver

A

Absorbed water forming a gel that binds materials together

39
Q

What is insoluble fiber

A

Passes through the digestive system largely intact

Example plants cannot be digested

40
Q

What is adipose tissue

A

Another word for fat

41
Q

What is BMI why is it in accurate

A

Body mass index

Because you cannot say that their is an absolute weight for everyone

Q

What are the effects of obesity

A

Physiological deficiencies

Physical problems

Dieting

Child onset
Requires insulin injections
Pancreas produces little to no insulin
Glucose cannot fuel the cells

44
