Study Notes
Nutrition and Digestive System Overview
- Thyroid hormones regulate the Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
- Nutrients are classified as macronutrients (needed in large amounts) and micronutrients (needed in small quantities)
- Macronutrients include carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and water
- Functions of nutrients include growth, development, reproduction, maintenance, and immunity
- The digestive system consists of the gastrointestinal tract and accessory organs
- Carbohydrates are the body's preferred source of energy and are important for memory, learning, and promoting peristalsis
- Proteins provide structure, immunity, regulation of body processes, and serve as enzymes and hormones
- Lipids/fats serve as fuel supply and long-term energy storage, and are classified as saturated, unsaturated, and trans fats
- Cholesterol is essential for the cell membrane and steroid hormones, and is produced in the liver
- Water makes up 60-70% of the human body, regulates body temperature, and helps transport waste
- Emulsification and bile aid in the digestion of fats
- Concerns related to nutrition and the digestive system include blood albumin levels, nitrogen balance, and lipid profile measurements, as well as health risks such as arthrosclerosis and dehydration.
