Definition
gives an 18 hour supply in the liver
Term
when we are hungry/starving and not intaking any food
Definition
when do you use glucose from glycogen stores as opposed to from food you just consumed?

Term
1. Mouth: salivary amylase- partial digestion
2. Stomach: no further digestion; salivary amylase is inactivated in stomach
3. pancreas:amylase breaks down starch into maltose in small intestines
4. small intestine: enzymes break down dissacharides into monosaccharides
5. absorption of glucose, fructose, and galactose into blood to be taken up the liver via a portal vein

Definition
trace digestion and absorption of carbs through the GI tract
Term
pancreas
Definition
produces pancreatic enzymes to break down starches and polysaccharides
Term
bicarbonate
Definition
nuetralizes acidic cchyme and the alkaline environment optimizes carb digestion
Term
cellular wall
Definition
where are these enzymes located that break down carbs to monosaccharides?
Term
presence of fiber leads to slower digestion and absorption of nutrients
Definition
what effect does fiber have on digestion and absorption of nutrients?
Term
absorption of monosaccharides on intestinal wall (villi and microvilli)- enter circulation to liver
Definition
where does absorption of carbs occur?
Term
glucose is released into bloodstream from liver; "protein sparing"- amino acids will be used to create glucose if there isn't enough consumed and in storage form; prevents ketosis (ketones formed when body must use fat for energy in absence of carbs)
Definition
explain the process of glucose for energy immediately after absorption for the portal circulation to liver where galactose + fructose are converted to glucose
Term
glycogen storage is not unlimited--liver glycogen stores will be depleted in 18 hours if no supply of glucose is consumed
