Usually ingest other organisms
Term
Food Requirements: Why?
Definition
Energy and Building blocks
Term
Food Requirements: Energy
Definition
Proteins, fats, carbs
Term
Food Requirements: Energy (protein, fats, carbs)

Short-term in liver as glycogen
Term
Food Requirements: Energy (excess long-term)
Definition
Turns into fat (adipose tissue) for long-term
Term
Food Requirements: Homeostatic Regulation
Definition
Hormones...Insulin -> glucose -> glycogen...Glucogon
Term
Food Requirements: Caloric Imbalances
Definition
Undernourishment, Overnourishment, Malnourishment
Term
Food Requirements: Caloric Imbalances (Undernourishment)
Definition
Glycogen and fat used up and Protein broken down
Term
Food Requirements: Caloric Imbalances (overnourishment)
Definition
Excess fat storage...Obesity
Term
Food Requirements: Caloric Imbalances (Malnourishment)
Definition
Taking in enough calories but not the right types...vitamins
Term
Food Requirements: Biosynthesis
Definition
Building Blocks...Mostly done in the liver
Term
Food Requirements: Biosynthesis (Building Blocks)
Definition
Amino, fatty and nucleic Acids...Simple sugars
Term
Food Requirements: Essential Nutrients
Definition
Can't be synthesized...Malnourishment
Term
Food Requirements: Essential Nutrients (Amino Acids)
Definition
Eight...Methionine, Valine, Threonine, Phenylalanine, Leucine, Tryptophan, lysine...Corn and beans = good source
Term
Food Requirements: Essential Nutrients (Viatmines)
Definition
usually coenzymes...only require small amounts (.01-100mg/day) Fat and water soluble.
Term
Food Requirements: Essential Nutrients: Vitamins (Fat soluble)
Definition
Can build up!...A->(eye pigments; antioxident) D->(Ca and P uptake) E->(Antioxident) K->( Blood Clotting)
Term
Food Requirements: Essential Nutrients: Vitamins (Water Soluble)
Definition
Excreted out!...overdose less likely ex: C
Term
Food Requirements: Essential Nutrients: Vitamins (How function determined)
Definition
Usually determined by someone having a deficiency.
Term
Food Requirements: Essential Nutrients (Minerals)
Definition
Inorganic, Small quantities...ex: Ca and Mg for bones; Cu for enzymes; Fe for hemoglobin
Term
Food Processing
Definition
Ingestion -> Digestion -> Absorbtion -> Elimination
Term
Food Requirements: Appetite Regulation
Definition
Hormones
Term
Food Requirements: Appetite Regulation: Hormones (what?)
Definition
Ghrelin (stomach): Hunger...PYY (Sm Intestine): appetite suppressant...Insulin (pancreas): appetite suppresant...Leptin (adipose tissue) provides index of nutritional status: high lvls suppress appetite; low lvls vice versa
Term
Feeding Mechinisms
Definition
Filter feeding, substrate feeding, fluid feeders, bulk feeders
Term
Feeding Mechanisms: Digestion
Definition
Intracellular and Extracellular...Gastro Vascular Cavity and Alimentary Canal (complete digestive system)
Term
Feeding Mechanisms: Digestion: Human Digestion (Digestion Mechanics)
Definition
Peristalsis (rythmic contractions)...Sphinters (keep stuff where it is supposed to be)...Acessory glands (liver, gall bladder, pancrease)
Term
Feeding Mechanisms: Digestion: Human Digestion (Oral Cavity)
Definition
Physical and chemical break down...Chewing...Saliva
Term
Feeding Mechanisms: Digestion: Human Digestion: Oral Cavity (Saliva)
Definition
mucin is a lubricant, amylase catalyzes breakdown of startches, buffers to control pH, and antimicrobial agents.
Term
Feeding Mechanisms: Digestion: Human Digestion: Oral Cavity (ball of food?)
Definition
Bolus
Term
Feeding Mechanisms: Digestion: Human Digestion (pharynx)
Definition
Epiglottis and glottis
Term
Feeding Mechanisms: Digestion: Human Digestion: Stomach (sphinctors)
Definition
Pyloric is bottom and Cardiac is top
Term
Feeding Mechanisms: Digestion: Human Digestion: Stomach (cells)
Definition
mucus, cheif, and Parietal
Term
Feeding Mechanisms: Digestion: Human Digestion: Stomach: Cells (Mucus Cells)
Definition
In stomach wall near top of canals...Protection from acid
Term
Feeding Mechanisms: Digestion: Human Digestion: Stomach: Cells (Cheif Cells)
Definition
produce Pepsinogen (an inactive form) combines with HCl to form Pepsin which helps break down protein.
Term
Feeding Mechanisms: Digestion: Human Digestion: Stomach: Cells (Parictal Cells)
Definition
Produce HCl...Hcl lowers pH to 1-4; kills bacteria; denatures protein; activates pepsinogen to pepsin.
Term
Feeding Mechanisms: Digestion: Human Digestion: Stomach: Indigestion
Definition
Acid Inhibitor: block enzyme that catalyze HCl production
Term
Feeding Mechanisms: Digestion: Human Digestion: Stomach: Indigestion
Definition
Acid Blocker: block hormone receptor site that signal cells to releaase HCl (Perictal cells)
Term
Feeding Mechanisms: Digestion: Human Digestion: Accessory Organs (Gall Bladder)
Definition
Stores bile from liver and releases into duodnum when needed...Bile is an emulsifier (suspends fats in solution) so fats don't just sit on bottom.
Term
Feeding Mechanisms: Digestion: Human Digestion: Accessory Organs (Pancrease)
Definition
Bicabonate buffer: neutralizes acid...hydrolytic enzymes: add H2O to break bonds
Term
Feeding Mechanisms: Digestion: Human Digestion: Accessory Organs: Pancrease (Hydrolytic Enzymes)
Definition
Pancreatic Amylase: Carbohydrate digestion...Nuclease: breakdown nucleic acids...pancreatic proteases: break down proteins...lipase: break down lipids
Term
Feeding Mechanisms: Digestion: Human Digestion: Accessory Organs: Pancrease (Pancreatic Enzymes)
Definition
Trypsinogen -> trypsin: breaks down protein
Term
Feeding Mechanisms: Digestion: Human Digestion: Accessory Organs (Intestine)
Definition
Enzymes: disaccheridase, aminopeptidase (break up), Intestinal lipase, nucleases
Term
Feeding Mechanisms: Digestion: Human Digestion: Secretino (how knows when?)
Definition
Secretion is controlled by nerve impluses and hormones.
Term
Feeding Mechanisms: Digestion: Human Digestion: Hormones
Definition
Gastrin, Secretin, Cholecytokinin (CCK), Enterogastrone
Term
Feeding Mechanisms: Digestion: Human Digestion: Hormones (Gastrin)
Definition
Secreted by stomach G cells...Release of HCl and pepsinogen (inactive form)
Term
Feeding Mechanisms: Digestion: Human Digestion: Hormones (Secretin)
Definition
Secreted by duodnum...effect is pancrease releases buffer
Term
Feeding Mechanisms: Digestion: Human Digestion: Hormones (CCK)
Definition
Secreted by duodnum...gall bladder releases bile and pancrease releases difestive enzymes
Term
Feeding Mechanisms: Digestion: Human Digestion: Hormones (Enterogastione)
Definition
Secreted by duodenum...inhibits peristalsis
Term
Feeding Mechanisms: Digestion: Human Digestion: Absorbtion: Small Intestine
Definition
Jejunum (most absorbtion takes place here) and Illeum...lined with villi to increase S.A. for nutrents absorbtion
Term
Feeding Mechanisms: Digestion: Human Digestion: Absorbtion: Large Intestine
Definition
Colon is main part and absorbs water and electrolytes and secretes salt and forms feces. Rectum has 2 Sphincters
Term
Comparison of Alimentery Canals between herbivors and carnivors
Definition
Herbivores have large ceacum and long Alimentery canals with special fermentation chambers
