Energy Production and Metabolism

Equivalent of human energy in muscle contractions and heat production denotes metabolic processes during physical activities.
Anabolic phase involves smaller molecules becoming larger and more complex through biosynthetic pathways.
Catabolic phase concerns the breakdown of larger molecules into smaller ones, releasing energy.

Digestive Processes

Mechanical digestion involves the physical chewing of food and the churning action performed by the stomach and intestines.
Segmentation refers to the rhythmic contractions in the intestines, promoting food mixing and nutrient absorption.

Energy Expenditure

The largest component of total daily energy expenditure is known as Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), which accounts for 60%-75% of energy use.
Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) refers to the overall energy expended in a single day.

Nutritional Deficiencies

Iodine deficiency affects 780 million people globally and can lead to thyroid-related disorders.
The most prevalent form of malnutrition worldwide is protein-energy malnutrition, affecting millions, especially in underdeveloped regions.

Body Type Characteristics

A body type characterized by a high forehead, receding chin, and low muscle and fat is known as ectomorphic.
Android/Apple shape body type features fat accumulation in the hips, abdomen, and thighs, posing risks to organs like the kidneys and uterus.
The major risk for an Android/Apple shape body type includes increased likelihood of cardiovascular diseases and metabolic syndromes.

Severe Weight Loss

Extreme weight loss and body wasting associated with serious illness is referred to as cachexia, often seen in chronic diseases.

Absorption in Digestion

Absorption in the digestive system refers to the process where nutrients from digested food are taken up by the intestinal walls into the bloodstream.
