24
osteoblasts
build up bone
25
calcium function
transmission of nerve impulses muscle contraction and relaxation Blood pressure regulation blood clotting enzyme activation hormone secretion signaling between cell
26
where is calcium storage
99% in bone 1% in blood and soft tissues
27
low bone mess
osteopenia
28
magnesium
Required for many enzymatic reactions, synthesis of DNA, carbohydrates, and lipids, essential for nerve conduction, muscle contraction, and normal heart rhythm.
29
phosphorus
part of RNA and DNA, ATP, phospholipidis, cell signaling, enzyme activity, and acid base balance.
30
85% found in bone
phosphorus
31
osteomalacia
bone softening
32
cofactors
inorganic minerals that assist in Enzymatic reactions
33
vit b
energy metabolism. blood health, energy level, immune function, and brain function.
34
spina bifida
a neural tube defect , leading to physical and mental disability caused by folate deficiency in pregnancy
35
folate vit B9 requires for
amino acid, RNA and DNA synthesis
36
falate deficiency
rapid dividing cells
37
rapidly dividing cells cause
macrocytic anemia(decreased efficiency at carrying oxygen, caused by impairments in cell division.
38
folate nutrition deficiency
Macrocytic anemia: fatigue, weakness, poor concentration, headache, irritability. SOB, mouth sorers, GI distress, changes in hair, skin, nails
39
High dose folate acid supplements can make
vit B12 deficiency
40
Vit B12 only in
Animal-derived products: synthesized by bacteria.
41
Vit B12 funtions
maintaining the myelin sheath-protect neurons an essential part of many coenzymes /break down fats and proteins, folate functions and hemoglobin synthesis
42
intrinsic
고유한
43
secreted in the stomach
intrinsic factor
44
Intrinsic factor is required for
vitB12 absorption in the small intestine
45
intrinsic factor deficient
autoimmune disease, inflammation of the stomach, and in older adults
46
Vegan diet need
Vit B12 from supplements
47
Vit V12
nutritional yeast, fortified products, algae, mushrooms and fermented food
48
VB 12 deficiency
nerve degeneration, decline in mental funtion burnng, tingling, numbness of legs, pernicious anemia (usually cause by intrinsic factor deficiency)
49
pernicious anemia
intrinsic factor deficiency
50
Iron
trace mineral
51
Iron funtion
transport of oxygen, energy metabolism, immune function, antioxidant defense, brain development and function
52
binds oxygen in muscle
myoglobin
53
54
two types of iron
heme iron only found in animal-derived food more bioavailable than non-heme iron non-heme iron (both plant and animal)
55
non-heme iron bioavailability is increased by
Meat, poultry, seafood, and vit c. decreased by phytates and polyphenols
56
Iron deficiency
swollen, sore tongue, abnormal heart rate, fatigue, weakness, pale skin. shortness of breath, dizziness,
57
great risk group for iron deficiency
infants, children, adolescents, and woman
57
heme iron accounts for ? % of dietary iron
10
57
non heme iron makes up about ? % of dietary iron
90
57
iron absorption rates organ meats green leafy vegetables grains
25-30% 7-9% 4%
58
what increases the bioavailability of iron
ascrobic acid, animal tissues
59
what decreases its bioavailability
phytic acid(plant seeds) and oxalic acid (veggies, fruits, nuts, and seeds) calcium polyphenols(plant compounds)
