Lipids & Fat Digestion
This type of lipid makes up the majority of fat in the body.
What are Triglycerides?
Stored fat is released from adipose tissue during this state.
What is exercise or stress or low glucose availability?
This is the movement of water across a membrane to dilute a solute
What is osmosis?
This structure in the kidney filters the blood.
What is the glomerulus?
These vitamins dissolve in fat and can be stored in the body.
In a ketogenic diet, this molecule is used for fuel instead of glucose.
What are vitamins A, D, E, and K?
What are ketone bodies?
This substance helps fat mix with water in the digestive tract.
What is bile?
This process describes the breakdown of stored triglycerides.
What is lipase?
Blood plasma belongs to this body fluid compartment.
What is extracellular fluid?
This is the first step in urine production.
What is filtration?
What do you call foods that have had nutrients added to them?
The ketogenic diet has been treating this condition since the 1920's
What is fortified?
What is epilepsy?
These particles transport dietary fat from the intestine through the lymphatic system.
What are chylomicrons?
This hormone slows down the breakdown of fat when present.
What is insulin?
When extracellular fluid becomes hypertonic, water moves in this direction.
What is out of the cell?
This step returns useful substances from the filtrate back into the blood.
What is reabsorption?
This group of vitamins protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
These substances can help our bodies manage stress.
What are antioxidants?
What are adaptogens?
This enzyme breaks triglycerides into fatty acids and monoglycerides.
What is lipase?
Fat oxidation decreases at high exercise intensity because the body switches to this fuel source.
What are carbohydrates (glucose)?
Drinking excessive water can lead to this dangerous condition.
What is water intoxication (hyponatremia)?
This is the smallest functional unit of the kidney.
What is the nephron?
These compounds protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
In a fasted state, these two molecules can be converted to glucose.
What are antioxidants?
What are glycerol and oxaloacetate?
This system transports large fat molecules before they enter the bloodstream.
What is the lymphatic system?
This molecule from fat can be converted into glucose in the liver
What is glycerol?
This hormone is released when the heart senses increased blood volume.
What is atrial natriuretic hormone (ANH)?
These cannot be filtered out of the blood in the glomerulus.
What are red blood cells and large proteins?
This mineral should not be taken with iron.
This molecule can pass the blood-brain barrier and be used to produce ATP.
What is calcium?
What are ketones?
