|
|
Nutrients include:
|
Water, Lipids, Proteins, Vitamins, Minerals and Carbohydrates.
|
|
Nutrients:
|
substances essential for life that must be supplied by food.
|
|
Essential Nutrients:
|
must be supplied by diet
|
|
Fiber
|
indigestable portion of food
|
|
Digestion
|
physical, chemical adn enzymatic breakdown of food - takes place in the stomach
|
|
Absorption
|
movement of substances from the DT to the blood or lymph - takes place int the small intestine
|
|
Metabolism
|
anabolism + catabolism
|
|
Anabolism
|
building up of body tissue and chemical components
|
|
Catabolism
|
breaking down of body tissue and chemical components
|
|
Enzyme
|
protein in the body that can accelerate chemical reactions.

|
Hormone
|
chemical compound produced in one part of an organ, that initiates or regulates the activity of another part of the body (thyroid, estrogen, testosterone, insulin...)
|

|
2 major organism groups...
|
autotroph and heterotroph
|
|
Autotrophs require:
|
simple inorganic molecules - synthesize complex organic molecules - photosynthesis
|
|
Heterotrophs require:
|
complex organic molecules - EAT complex organic molecules - combustion
|
|
Type of organism classified as an autotroph?
|

|
Functions of GIT:
|
Storage, digestion, absorption, rejection, fermentation
|
|
Abomasum does what?
|
secretion of enzymes (pepsin), pH very low
|
|

|
4 - rumen, abomasum, omazum and reticulum
|
|
Proximal means...
|
mouth
|
|
Distal means...
|
anus
|
|
Chick GIT very efficient because of:
|
retroperistalis - gives more time for digiestion, so more efficient
|
|
Functions of saliva:
|
lubrication, initiation of starch digestion, fluid environment for digestion, evaporative cooling
|
|
Peristalis:
|
contraction and relaxation of muscles
|

|
Parietal cells
|
|
Stimulates acid secretion:
|
Smell, taste - gastrin - acetylcholine - histamine - food (protein)
|
|
Inhibits acid secretion:
|
Acid - antihistamine - somatostatin - CCK - Food (fat)
|
|
