Energy is the...

Capacity to do work

1 calorie = ?

amount of energy required to raise 1 ml of water at 15 degrees celsius by 1 degree

Kilocalorie

1000 cal.

Joule is?

mechanical work: amount of energy required to accelerate 1 N a distance of 1m



1kcal= ? kJ

4.184kJ

Calorimeter

Measures heat energy released during combustion

3 components of Total Energy Expenditure (TEE)

1) Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)


2) Thermic Effect of Food (TEF)


3) Activity Thermogenesis (AT)

Resting Metabolic Rate

energy required for basic body requirements - Varies by envronment

Thermic effect of Food

energy associated with consumption, digestion and absorption of each food

Activity Thermogenesis

Energy expended in physical activity

Basal Metabolic Rate

Minimum amount of energy expended that is compatible with life - thermonuclear environment.

BMR uses what variables?

weight, height, gender

Resting Metabolic Rate

Energy expended in the activities necessary to sustain normal body functions and homeostasis


(i.e.respiration, circulation, CNS etc.)


Higher than BMR



What affects RMR

body size, composition, climate, gender, hormonal status, and temperature

Harris Benedict Equation

BMR x activity factor


to determine total daily energy expenditure

BMR x 1.2

Sedentary

BMR x 1.375

Lightly active (1-3 days/week)

BMR x 1.55

Moderately active (3 to 5 days/week)

BMR x 1.725

Very Active ( 6 to 7 days/week)

BMR x 1.9

Extra Active

Mifflin-St Jeor Equation

Most accurate for normal people.

Bomb Calorimeter

Measures the total energy available from food

Calories per gram of fat

9

Calories per gram of CHO

4

Calories per gram of protein

4

Calories per gram of alcohol

7

Major Functions of Water

1) Structural for cells


2) Structure and function of circulatory system


3) Transport media for nutrients


4) Maintains physical & chemical constancy of intra and extracellular fluids


5) Maintains body temp.


6) Movement controlled by osmotic forces

Hypothalamic control of water

Via antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and various baroreceptors throughout the vascular system

Oncotic Pressure

osmotic pressure exerted by proteins in the blood plasma that usually pulls water into the circulatory system

What fraction of water is Intracellular Fluid

2/3

Edema

abnormal accumulation of fluid in intercellular tissue spaces or body cavities

What fraction of water is Extracellular Fluid

1/3



What are the various fractions of ECF

Plasma (1/5 of ECF)


Interstitial Fluid (4/5)


Transcellular fluid

Water requirements for adults

1ml/kcal

Water requirements for infants

1.5 ml / kcal

Female water requirements

2-3 L

Male water requirements

3-4 L

When would we need to increase our water?

Climate


Diuretics


Exercise


Medications
