|
|
Fat soluable Vitamins:
|
A, D, E, K
|
|
Fat soluable Vitamins require:
|
the presence of fats for their absorbtion from the GI track into the lymphatic system and cellular metabolism
|
|
Fat soluable Vitamins also require:
|
- daily intake not neccessary
- body stores reserves - needs proteins to be transported through the blood |
|
Water soluable vitamins:
|
Vitamin C and B complex vitamins
|
|
Water soluable vitamins require:
|
- daily ingestion in normal quantities (not stored in the body)
- absorbed by capillaries in intestinal villi directly into the circulatory system. |
|
fats
|
- most concentrated source of energy in the diet
- major component of cell membranes/mylin sheaths (phospholipids) |
|
proteins
|
builds and repairs body tissue.
|
|
perspiration
|
- varies with temperature
- insensible water loss |
|
Carbohydrates (CHO)
|
- primary source of energy for the body
- CNS relies solely on it - Electrolytes rely soley on CHO for energy - needed to oxidize fat completly - synthesis of fatty acids and amino acids - the body stores approximately 1/2 days dupply of carbs in lifer/muscles for use |
|
Digestion
|
begins in the mouth and ends in the small intestine
|
|
phospholipids
|
composed of:
glycerol fatty acids phosphorous |
|
Phospholipids are the:
|
structural components of cells
Mylin sheaths ( insulation covering many nerves) Lecithin ( a part of the cell membrane) |
|
monounsaturated fatty acids
|
Those that form glycerol esters with 1 double or tripple bond
Examples: nuts, fowl and olive oil |
|
Polyunsaturated fatty acids:
|
form glycerol acids that have many carbons unbonded to bydrogen atoms
Examples: fish, corn, sunflower seeds, soybeans cottonseeds, safflower oil NOTE: Soybeans are the only complete plant protein |

|
Several hormones:
1. estrogen 2. testosterone 3. adrenalin 4. cortizone |
|
Vitamins
|
- are organic compounds essential to life and health
