emulsifier helping us digest and absorb fat - Emulsifier → attracts the water and fat and brings them together; facilitates the digestion of fat - Gallbladder - stores bile until needed - Bile Duct - carries bile from gallbladder to small intestine - Small intestine is where the bile acts in the digestion and absorption of fats Downloaded by Madison Walton ([email protected])  lOMoARcPSD|34709684 - Pancreas - produces enzymes and bicarbonate - Pancreatic Duct - conducts pancreatic juices (enzymes and bicarbonate) - Enzymes end in -ase - Sphincter Muscles - Strong, circular muscles found at specific points along digestive tract that help to regulate the flow of food and eventually waste from our bodies - Lower (Cardiac) Esophageal Sphincter - helps regulate passage of food from the esophagus into the stomach - Helps prevent food from moving back up from the stomach into esophagus - Heartburn - Pyloric (Valve) Sphincter - regulates passage of food from stomach to the small intestine - Another name for stomach = pylorus - Ileocecal (Valve) Sphincter - helps regulate the passage of food from small intestine to the large intestine - Anus - regulates waste from our large intestine (colon) to the outside of our body - l and Chemical Digestion - Mouth - crushing and grinding action - Tongue moves food particles around (to back of mouth) - Saliva helps moisten food particles - Taste receptors on tongue - Esophagus - after swallowing, food enters this tube - Movement of food from top to bottom occurs via peristalsis - Peristalsis - wavelike muscular contractions that help push the food down esophagus towards the stomach (also occurs in stomach and small intestine) - Epiglottis - small flap of skin that covers the trachea, so when you swallow, the food enters your esophagus and not airway; helps prevent choking - Stomach - cells release gastric juice (water, enzymes, hydrochloric acid); strong in acidity (can damage stomach lining) - Hydrochloric Acid makes chyme - Powerful muscles of stomach help to mix food with gastric juices - Protective mucus lining to help against highly acidic gastric juices - Can be damaged with ulcer - Stomach walls can be expanded to hold capacity of 4 cups - 32 ounces of food/liquid - Gastrin - helps to regulate the digestive enzymes in stomach Downloaded by Madison Walton ([email protected])  lOMoARcPSD|34709684 - Promotes the release of hydrochloric acid - Signal that the cells of stomach get to release the hydrochloric acid - Gastric inhibitory hormone - inhibits the quick release of chyme at this point from stomach to small intestine; slowing digestion process - Small Intestine - major organ of digestion and absorption - Finishes what both mouth and stomach started - Villi and microvilli (finger-like projections) absorb nutrients which pass into blood or lymphatic system - Lymphatic system absorbs fat-soluble vitamins and large chain fatty acids or large fats - Figure 3-13 shows details of small intestinal lining - Has 3 sections: duodenum, jejunum, and ileum - 1) Duodenum - first part, where digestion is occurring - 2) Jejunum - involved in absorption - 3) Ileum - absorption - Does not have protective mucus lining - Liver - synthesizes bile - Bile is reabsorbed - Gallbladder - stores bile - Cholecystokinin (CCK) - hormone that is stimulated by the presence of fat in small intestine - Stimulates or signals gallbladder (or liver) to release bile - Pancreas - bicarbonate is manufactured - Bicarbonate is going to neutralize the chyme when it gets into small intestine - Secretin - hormone that stimulates the pancreas to release those bicarbonate juices - Manufactures enzymes - Large Intestine - only undigested food is passed to colon - AKA colon (includes rectum) - Undigested food (fiber) provides bulk against which the large intestine muscles work to help excrete that waste - Table 3-2 summarizes digestion Downloaded by Madison Walton ([email protected])  lOMoARcPSD|34709684 - Food spends least amount of time in mouth, most amount in colon - Methods of Absorption - 3 different methods - 1) Simple Diffusion - process where water and small lipids are absorbed - Able to freely cross the intestinal cells and move into bloodstream or into lymphatic system - 2) Facilitated Diffusion - how water soluble vitamins are absorbed - Specific carrier or change to cell membrane - 3) Active Transport - glucose and amino acids are absorbed - Must move against a concentration gradient (energy required) - Problems in Digestive Tract - Diarrhea - frequent, loose stools occur (aggravated DT) - Could be due to foodborne illness, type of infection; your body is trying to rid itself of some foreign organism - Treatment - bowel rest, consume low-fiber foods, drink plenty of fluids - Constipation - difficult/painful bowel movements - Prevention - high-fiber diet (whole grains), drink plenty of water/fluids, exercise regularly - Gas and Belching - belching (burping), flatulence (gas excretion) and abdominal bloating - Prevention - eat slowly, choose bothersome foods in moderation - Heartburn - burning sensation in chest - Lower (Cardiac) Sphincter weakens - Specific foods or behaviors that can weaken; peppermint, spearmint, chocolate, wine, smoking - Prevention - eating smaller meals, sit up while eating, don’t lay down for 1 hour after eating or exercise for 2 hours after - Gastric Bypass Surgery - treatment for obesity - One of most common types = Roux-en-Y - Creates a new stomach or a pouch (from old stomach) that holds 3-6 ounces of food created - Smaller quantity intake - Bypass Component; fewer calories are consumed - When surgery is done, new pouch/stomach completely bypasses the duodenum and first 15-20 cm of the Jejunum (absorption occurring here) Chapter 3 Concept Checks - The lymphatic system carries waste away from the cells of the body, and the cardiovascular system ensures that the fluid in the body circulates through all of the tissues of the body Downloaded by Madison Walton ([email protected])  lOMoARcPSD|34709684 - All of these are examples of the importance of hormones for nutrition: signaling to the body during times of stress, which influences hunger, helping regulate satiety and hunger, signaling to the brain about body fatness, and helping regulate the digestive system - Microvilli help(s) increase absorption in the intestines - Carbohydrates CANNOT be stored in large quantities in the muscle and liver cells 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 Concept Check - Body's cells need energy, oxygen, and nutrients to remain healthy and do their work - Genes direct the making of each cell's protein machinery, including enzymes - What role do organs play in the body? They work together in body systems - What is the role of blood and lymph? Deliver needed materials to all the body's cells and carry waste materials away - The nervous system and hormonal system do all of the following: regulate body processes, govern the act of eating and regulate digestion, respond to the need for food 3.4 and 3.5 Concept Check - Peristalsis moves the digestive tract contents through the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine - Which digestive organs release digestive juices that perform the complex chemical process of digestion? Salivary glands, stomach, pancreas - The small intestine is lined with thousands of folds covered with villi, which make the surface area for absorbing nutrients much greater - The digestive system feeds the rest of the body and is itself sensitive to malnutrition - What may help alleviate the symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)? Exercise, antibiotics, and antispasmodic drugs 3.6, 3.7, and 3.8 Concept Check - The kidneys adjust(s) the blood's composition in response to the body's needs, disposing of everyday wastes and helping remove toxins - Where does the body store limited amounts of carbohydrate as glycogen? Muscle and liver cells - Fat is not a required part of every meal since it is stored abundantly Chapter 1 Practice Test 1) The study of nutrients in food and in the body is referred to as nutrition and is sometimes called the study of human behaviors related to food. We get our energy from the foods we eat to move and work. It comes indirectly from the sun by way of plants. Unfortunately, malnutrition is an imbalance of either excess or too few nutrients and can affect health in the long-term, potential development of chronic disease Downloaded by Madison Walton ([email protected])  lOMoARcPSD|34709684 2) Foremost among the six classes of nutrients in foods is water, the most important essential nutrient 3) What is the unit used to measure energy in foods? It is the amount of heat energy necessary to raise the temperature of 1 kg (1 L) of water 1°C. Calorie 4) Single studies must be replicated before findings can be confirmed and considered valid 5) Foods contain phytochemicals, compounds that confer color, taste, and other characteristics of foods. Foods that have been around a long time, such as vegetables, fruit, and meats, are whole foods, while processed foods are foods that may have been subjected to milling, texture alterations, or cooking. Rice, potatoes, or corn are staple foods that provide a foundation for a healthful diet 6) One cup of vanilla milkshake provides 254 cal and 332 mg calcium; one cup of nonfat milk has 86 cal and 301 mg calcium. Choosing the nonfat milk would be an example of applying the principle of nutrient density 7) Carbohydrates are macronutrients made of simple sugars and yield 4 cal/g energy. Proteins are macronutrients made of amino acids and also yield 4 cal/g energy. Fats are macronutrients with the highest energy yield, 9 cal/g energy. 8) How many calories are provided by a food that contains 29 g carbohydrate, 6 g protein, and 1 g fat? 149 9) Many agencies are involved in nutrition policy development, research, and monitoring. Which large program of studies is designed to assess the health and nutritional status of adults and children in the United States by conducting interviews and physical examinations? National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) 10) Dark leafy greens, red bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots are examples of nutrient dense foods, unlike chips, buns, and donuts Chapter 2 Practice Test 1) What are a set of five lists of values for dietary nutrient intakes of healthy people in the United States and Canada?

Estimated Average Requirements Downloaded by Madison Walton ([email protected])  lOMoARcPSD|34709684 3) The Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR) sets healthy range intakes for all of the following macronutrients EXCEPT which one? Sugar 4) The term Daily Values appears on food labels 5) A day’s meals that provide 260 g carbohydrate, 30 g protein, and 60 g of fat are 1,700 cal. The percentage of calories from carbohydrate is 61%, the percentage of calories from fat is 32% and the percentage of calories from protein is 7% 6) Consider the day’s meals from the prior question, which provides 260 g carbohydrate, 30 g protein, and 60 g fat. The percent calories from fat is within the recommended level of 20-35%, the percent calories from carbohydrate is within the recommended level of 45-65% and the percent calories from protein is less than the recommended level of 10-35% 7) The Food Patterns suggest that at least half of the grains in a day’s meals be whole grains. Varying food choices among and within foods groups helps to ensure adequate nutrients and also protects against large amounts of toxins or contaminants from any one source 8) The subgroups within the vegetable group in the USDA Eating Patterns are dark green vegetables (spinach), red and orange vegetables (peppers), legumes, starchy vegetables, and others 9) All of the following are recommendations of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans: focus on a variety of foods, limit calories from added sugars and saturated fats, support healthy eating patterns 10) What are the subgroups within the protein foods group in the USDA Eating Patterns? Seafood; meats, poultry, and eggs; and nuts, seeds, and soy products 11) Based on the USDA Eating Patterns, which of the following would be recommended as primary sources of fats in the diet? Olive oil, peanut oil, and oils that occur naturally in fatty fish 12) The Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI) Committee recommends a diet that contains what percentage of its calories from fat? 20-35% 13) The Nutrition Education and Labeling Act of 1990 set the requirements for nutrition labeling information. According to law, every packaged food must state the following: The common name Downloaded by Madison Walton ([email protected])  lOMoARcPSD|34709684 of the product, the name and address of the manufacturer, the net contents in terms of weight, measure, or count, the ingredients in descending order of predominance by weight Chapter 12 Practice Test 1) Microorganisms may cause foodborne illness either by infection or by intoxication. E Coli is a foodborne bacterial infection resulting in severe bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and vomiting that typically lasts 5-10 days. Contaminated water, infested with this organism, can be treated by boiling (heat) the water 2) Temperature is the most critical factor in keeping meat safe to eat. Ground meat and poultry should be cooked to the well-done stage. Due to sanitation mistakes made by growers and producers and the difficulty of removing biofilm, raw produce poses a threat of foodborne illness 3) Foods need to be refrigerated immediately after serving a hot meal that was maintained at 140°F in a buffet line yet definitely before 2 hours have passed to prevent bacterial growth 4) Chilling green salads is a must because temperatures above what temperature causes a dangerous change in E. coli bacteria strains, which can make the consumer sick? 50 degrees F 5) Your friend drops food on the floor and says "5-second rule." He picks it up and before he puts it in his mouth, what do you say? "Food that drops on the floor becomes contaminated as soon as it lands." Chapter 3 Practice Test 1) Most nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream via the intestine and then directed to the liver, which rids the blood of toxins. This nutrient-rich blood goes to the heart, through the lungs, and then back through the heart out to the body cells. Arteries carry blood away from the heart to the cells, and veins carry blood back into the heart 2) True statements about hormones and nutrition: Hormones help regulate the body's reaction to stress, Hormones help regulate hunger and appetite, Hormones carry messages to regulate the digestive system in response to meals or fasting, Hormones can regulate blood glucose levels 3) Churning, mixing, and grinding of food into a liquid mass is completed in the stomach. The pancreas releases bicarbonate to neutralize stomach acid. The small intestine is lined with cells that absorb nutrients into the blood and lymph. Bile is produced in the liver to help emulsify fats for better absorption of lipids. Waste (any unabsorbed nutrients, fiber, bacteria) and some water absorption occurs in the large intestine Downloaded by Madison Walton ([email protected])  lOMoARcPSD|34709684 4) Which of the following choices correctly ranks fluids in order from the most acidic (lowest pH) to the least acidic (highest pH)? gastric juice > coffee > saliva > pancreatic juice 5) The liver converts excess energy-containing nutrients into which two storage forms? glycogen and fat 6) What should be consumed at intervals throughout the day because it can be depleted from its storage? Carbohydrates 7) Lymph vessels in the intestine absorb most of the fats present in a meal to then distribute them to the bloodstream 8) After a calorically dense meal when the stomach is too full, the acidic juices can travel back up the esophagus and cause heartburn 9) The digestive system’s first major task is to break down food to its components. Then, it must absorb the nutrients and some non-nutrients, leaving behind the substances that are appropriate to excrete. To do this, the system works at two levels, one l and the other chemical 10) Where does most of the body's nutrient absorption take place? Small Intestine 11) Bicarbonate is responsible for neutralizing the stomach acid that has reached the small intestine The 7 major categories of nutrition and weight-related objectives included in the publication Healthy People 2020. 1) Chronic Diseases: reduce death rates, annual number of new cases 2) Food Safety: reduce outbreaks, severe allergic reactions 3) Maternal, Infant, and Child Health: reduce occurrence of FAS, reduce blood lead levels 4) Food and Nutrient Consumption: increase vegetables, fruit, whole grains 5) Eating Disorders: reduce proportion of adolescents who with disordered eating behaviors 6) Physical Activity and Weight Control: reduce proportions of those who are obese 7) Food Security: eliminate very low food security among children The 6 stages of behavior change Stage and Characteristics: - Precontemplation: no intention of changing, see no problems with current behavior - Contemplation: admit change may be needed, weigh pros/cons of changing and not changing - Preparation: preparing to change specific behavior, taking initial steps, and setting some goals Downloaded by Madison Walton ([email protected])  lOMoARcPSD|34709684 - Action: committing time and energy to making a change; following a plan set for a specific behavior change - Maintenance: striving to integrate the new behavior into daily life and striving to make it permanent - Adoption/Moving On: former behavior is gone, new behavior is routine Many phytochemicals are believed to be bioactive food components -- food constituents other than the nutrients that alter the body process Many phytochemicals known to have antioxidant activity, and antioxidants in the body protect DNA and other cellular components from oxidative damage Flavonoids (a common and widespread group of phytochemicals) of blueberries; helps maintain mental sharpness Microbial Foodborne Illnesses Caused by microbes (pathogens); infection or by intoxication, mild stomach pain, headache, paralysis and death Some bacteria produce enterotoxins or neurotoxins, poisonous chemicals that they release as they multiply EX: E Coli, Salmonella, Norovirus, Campylobacter, Clostridium Foods (produce normally) high in moisture and nutrients, or chopped or ground Without proper refrigeration, bacteria is likely to grow quickly 6 Basic Needs of the Body’s Cells Energy, and the oxygen with which to burn it Water to maintain the environment which they live Building blocks and control systems Essential nutrients they can’t make themselves; supplied by food Hernia = protrusion of an organ through the wall of a body chamber Ulcer = eroded spot in topmost layers of cell that form a lining; common in esophagus, stomach, upper small intestine Kidney = waste and water removal specialists, filter passing blood Working units = nephrons Liver = processes waste that are pulled out of bloodstream and processes these wastes, either tossing them out into digestive tract with nile, or preparing to be sent to kidneys for disposal in urine Major storage sites = liver and muscles, which store carbohydrate, and the fat cells, which store fat and other related substances Downloaded by Madison Walton ([email protected])  lOMoARcPSD|34709684 Nutrients collected from the digestive system move through a vast network of capillaries that weave among the liver cells Liver -- collects excess energy-yielding nutrients and converts them into two storage forms—glycogen (a form of carbohydrate) and several kinds of lipids, or fats Liver packages fats to be shipped out to other parts of body Where does most of the body's nutrient absorption take place? Small Intestine Bicarbonate is responsible for neutralizing the stomach acid that has reached the small intestine Most nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream via the intestine and then directed to the liver, which rids the blood of toxins. This nutrient-rich blood goes to the heart, through the lungs, and then back through the heart out to the body cells. Arteries carry blood away from the heart to the cells, and veins carry blood back to the heart. Downloaded by Madison Walton ([email protected])
