Digestion
The two complementary processes digestion relies on
What is mechanical digestion and chemical digestion.
How much does the small intestine absorb
What is 90%
Once carbs are broken down into glucose, what do they specifically do for your cells?
What is provide quick energy. (specifically, brain and muscles)
The sum of all chemical reactions happening in your body right now
What is metabolism.
Explain energy balance
What is the relationship between calories in and calories out
(calories in) the calories you consume through food and beverages
(calories out) the calories your body uses for daily functions and activities
The three Accessory Organs are
What is the pancreas, liver, and gallbladder.
During chemical digestion, enzymes break chemical bonds in nutrients. What are the three macro nutrients broken down into when digested?
After nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine and through villi, where do they transport to next?
What is the bloodstream (tiny blood vessels called capillaries).
The two main categories of metabolic reactions are
The total number of calories your body burns in 24-hour period.
What is total daily energy expenditure (TDEE)
The five GI Tract Organs are
What is mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine and large intestine.
How are nutrients transported into blood?
What is water-soluble nutrients are absorbed directly into the bloodstream through villi, located in the small intestine.
Once nutrients enter your bloodstream through the villi, what system takes over?
What is the circulatory system.
Every movement, every thought, every heartbeat requires
What is ATP
Calories in > Calories out
What is calorie surplus
"The Nutrient Absorption Powerhouse"
What is the small intestine.
Broken down into monosaccharides, glucose, fructose and galactose
Carbohydrates
Two systems that work together and depend on each other to deliver nutrients to the body
What is the digestive and circulatory system.
The energy your body needs just to stay alive -- breathing, circulating blood, maintaining body temperature, and repairing cells
What is basal metabolic rate (BMR)
The three components of TDEE
What is BMR, physical activity and thermic effect of food
The gallbladder acts as a
storage reservoir for bile produced by the liver When fatty foods enter the small intestine, the gallbladder released concentrated bile to aid in fat digestion and absorption.
Carries nutrient-rich blood from the intestines directly to the liver for processing, storage, or distribution throughout the body
What is the hepatic portal vein.
"Your Body's Highway"
What is the circulatory system
If you wanted to change your BMR, what is one factor that can be changed immediately
What is activity level.
List six factors that influence your metabolism
What is age, gender, body composition, genetics, hormones, and activity level.
