Hippocrates - 1st to make analogy between medicine and food
Leonardo Da Vinci
compared metabolism to a burning candle - when nutrients are digested, they are degraded to produce heat.
Scurvy is a deficiency of...
vitamin C - James Lind
Water soluble vitamins
C and B
Fat Soluble vitamins
A, D ,E, K
Father of Nutrition and Chemistry

All foods are composed of...
O, N, H, C
1st to point out chemical makeup of carbs, fats and proteins...
Justus Liebig
Beriberi is a deficiency in ...
Vit B
E.V. McCollum ...
discovered Vit A - rats fed butter were healthier than those fed lard.
1st to coin the term "vitamin"
Dr. Casmir Funk. (vital amine)
Discovered essential amino acids (building blocks of proteins)
William Rose
created term "orthomolecular nutrition"
Linus Pauling - giving body right molecules in right concentrations, nutrients could be used by people to achieve better health.
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...)
Immune system
system of substances and organs that protect the body against disease and infections.
Probiotics
organisms and substances which contribute to intestinal health
Glycolosis
splitting of glucose
2 major organism groups...
autotroph and heterotroph
Autotrophs require:
simple inorganic molecules - synthesize complex organic molecules
Heterotrophs require:
complex organic molecules - EAT complex organic molecules
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...)
Immune system
system of substances and organs that protect the body against disease and infections.
Probiotics
organisms and substances which contribute to intestinal health
Glycolosis
splitting of glucose
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?
Higher plants - self feeders
Type of organism classified as a heterotroph?
animals, fungi, bacteria - one that feeds
Functions of GIT:
Storage, digestion, absorption, rejection, fermentation
Abomasum does what?
secretion of enzymes (pepsin), pH very low
How many chambers in ruminant stomach?
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
3 zones in monogastric stomach
fundus, corpus and antrum
Pepsinogen secreted by:
Chief Cells
Acid secreted by:
Parietal cells
Stimulates acid secretion:
Smell, taste - gastrin - acetylcholine - histamine - food (protein)
Inhibits acid secretion:
Acid - antihistamine - somatostatin - CCK - Food (fat)
Functions of ruminant stomach:
cellulose digetsion, regurgitation, delivery to omasum and abomasum, eructation of gas
Cellulose digestion allows:
animals to eat low quality, fibrous foods, that would otherwise not provide much nutrition
How does the small intestine increase its surface area?
Folded cylinder, villi, microvilli
Segmentation:
serves to mix chyme with enzyme containing digestive fluid
Functions of Large Intestine:
microbial digestion, reabsorption of H2O and electrolytes and movement of intestinal content into rectum
