24 Nutrition, Metabolism, and Body Temperature Regulation
24 Nutrition, Metabolism, and Body Temperature Regulation
substances in food used by the body to promote normal growth, maintenance and repair
*essential nutrients - cannot be made fast enough to meet the body's needs and so must be provided by the diet
*calorie (kilocalorie) - amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water by 1 C
Table 24.1 - Dietary Sources
6 Major Nutrients - Main Cellular Uses
*often good sources of fiber, too!
Uses in the body - pg. 912
Saturated vs. Unsaturated Fats
*straightens out chain
Uses in the body - pg. 914
24 Nutrition, Metabolism, and Body Temperature Regulation
*complete - meet the body's amino acid requirements for tissue maintenance and growth
*incomplete - missing one or more essential amino acid
beans peasnuts
Uses in the body - pg. 914-915
meat
*nitrogen balance - protein synthesis is equal to rate of protein breakdown and loss
tissue building
broken down for energy
*children, pregnant women, repairs
tissue building
broken down for energy
*physical or emotional stress, poor diet
*potent organic compounds needed in minute amounts for growth and good health
*absorbed along with water from the gastrointestinal tract
*bind to ingested lipids and are absorbed along with their digestion products
Table 24.2
*coenzymes
*blood clots, ETC
*antioxidant, protects cell membranes
*acts like hormone, promotes bone growth
*vision, protects cell membranes, antioxidant
*antioxidant, improves iron absorption, detox, collagen synthesis
Minerals - Table 24.3
*energy balance means intake equals output
more intake = weight gain more output = weight loss*lost as heat, used to do work, stored as fat
Regulation of Food Intake - It's COMPLICATED... here's what you need to know
leptin, hunger*same with increasing
levels of insulin and CCK
ghrelin, hunger*same with increasing levels of
glucagon and epinephrine
24 Nutrition, Metabolism, and Body Temperature Regulation
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) - energy the body needs to perform only its most essential activities (i.e. breathing, resting levels of organ function)
Affected By: body surface
area (increases heat loss, increasing
metabolic rate to replace lost
heat), age, gender, stress, and hormones
(increased thyroxine, increased
metabolism)
"energy cost of living" Total Metabolic Rate (TMR) - BMR + all ongoing activities
TMR
Regulating Body Temperatureorgans in skull, chest,
and abdomen
skin
Mechanisms of Heat Exchange - Heat Loss
loss of thermal energy
conduction - transfer of heat from warmer to cooler
convection - hot air rises, cold air sinks
heat absorbed by water
