Acute Renal Failure
Used to treat people with renal insufficiency (uremia) and It does the work of the kidneys
Hemodialysis (artificial kidney disease)
In this condition, transport carriers become saturated as a result of hyperglycemia, therefore glucose stays in urine
Glyocsuria
What ingredient is most commonly found in diuretics?
Caffiene
Rapid weight loss is actually due to ____ and not body fat by the use of diuretics
water loss
Normally, all glucose is _____, because it is used for energy production in the cells
reabsorbed
What does BMR stand for
Basal Metabolic rate
_____ is the metabolic rate of an awake, relaxed person 12 – 14 hours after eating & at a comfortable temperature
BMR
This is determined by ones age, sex, body surface area, and level of thyroid secretion
BMR
Excercising increases your resting BMR, and ____ also increases your BMR because of the buildup of muscle tissue
weightlifting
Defined as the total rate of body metabolism (anabolic & catabolic reactions
Metabolic Rate
This is determined by the Amount of heat generated by the body and Amount of oxygen consumed by the body per minute
Metabolic Rate
The energy stored in the bonds of food (the more bonds the more energy) are called what
Calories
one kilocalorie= how many calories
1000
____ _____ = the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one cc of water 1 degree Celsius
one calorie
What is the ratio of carbohydrates to fats?
4:9 (4kcal/gram to 9kcal/gram)
___ have more available energy but required more energy to break down.
Fats
The expenditure of calories also means what
The use of calories
How many components are involved with the expenditure of calories?
3
This is the calories you burn by just sitting around (60%)
BMR
This is the calories you burn when you respond to changes in ambient temperature & during the digestion & absorption of food (10%)
Adaptive thermogenesis
the more ____ _____, the more calories used. This is why exercise is vital to maintaining or losing weight. Increasing physical activity raises the metabolic rate & energy expenditure of your skeletal muscles.
Physical activity
What are the 3 main components of calorie expenditure?
BMR, adaptive thermogenesis, and physical activity
Metabolic rate is influenced by what 3 factors?
Physical activity
Body temperature
Eating
This tissue stores fat & are release sites of energy substrates (mainly fatty acids) during fasting
Adipose
The longer you go without food, the more ___ acids are released
Fatty
This type of tissue causes muscle to be more responsive to insulin and
May secrete own hormones which help to regulate hunger and food intake
Adipose
____ levels of blood glucose levels stimulate insulin secretion & inhibit glucagon secretion
High
____ levels of blood glucose levels stimulate glucagon secretion & inhibit insulin secretion
Low
In this condition, Islets of Langerhans cells secrete excessive amounts of insulin in response to a rise in blood glucose concentration
Hypoglycemia(low blood sugar levels)
This organ Functions in the storage, concentration, & release of bile (into the duodenum of the small intestine
Gallbladder
What are the 3 parts of the small intestine
duodenum, jejenum, ilieum
Name the 3 phases of gastric secretion
Cephalic, Gastric, Intestinal
Name the 5 functions of the digestive system
motility, secretion,digestion, absorption of nutrients, and storage and elimination of wastes
This function of the digestive system refers to the movement of food through the digestive tract
Motility
During this process of motility, food is taken into the mouth
ingestion
During this process of motility, chewing of the food and mixing it with saliva occurs
mastication
During this process of motility, swallowing occurs
deglutition
During this process of motility, rythmic, wavelike contractions move food through the gastrointestinal tract
Peristalsis
Secretion of the digestive system includes what 2 types of secretions
exocrine and endocrine
This refers to the breakdown of food molecules into the smaller subunits, which can be absorbed
digestion
This refers to the passage of digested end products into the blood or lymph
absorption
This refers to the temporary storage and subsequent elimination of indigestible food molecules
storage and elimination
Name the 4 layers of the GI tract
Mucosa, submucosa, muscularis, serosa
The small intestine functions in what two things
digestion and absorption
The small intestine contains ____, which contain microvilli and aid to increase the surface area for increased absorption
Villi
the muscular contraction for mixing of chyme
segementation
The large intestine is commonly referred to as the ____

Very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDLs
This type of cholesterol is converted VLDL particles which transport cholesterol to various organs and are Referred to as the “bad” cholesterol (collects in arterial walls) and
therefore you want a low number of these.
Low-density lipoproteins (LDLS)
This type of cholesterol returns excess cholesterol from organs to liver and is The “good” cholesterol (you want a high number these)
