    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.
