Nutrition Exam One Concept Guide 1
I highly recommend that you study all of the key terms in your text from Chapters 2, 3, 4, & 5.
Read the objectives at the beginning of Modules 1 & 2 and put the answers to them in your own
words- try teaching your study partner, your kid, your boyfriend, or your cat. You have to be able
to understand the concept to teach it.
Read the Blackboard lesson content in each module, as it sometimes contains important info not
highlighted by your book.
Read and thoroughly understand the topics discussed in the DRI lecture.

Digestion

How does digestion occur? Start by chewing- swallowing-down the esophagus-entry into the
Th
stomach-churning and turns to chyme- food passes to through the pyloric sphincter into the
sh
duodenum (majority of nutrients-vitamins,minerals,lipids-began in the small intestine)-
peristalsis begins– large colon(water is absorbed 5-8L) -
Where does it start and end? Start-Mouth- mastication End- Glucose

What organs are involved, and what are their functions in digestion?
Small intestine- majority of nutrients are absorbed, mucous and enzymes into play
Bile is produced in the liver and stored in the gall bladder.
Which organs use mechanical processes? The teeth aid in mechanical digestion by
masticating (chewing) food.
Which use chemical processes, and what are those chemicals called? Chemical process is in
the stomach which include acid(hydrochloric acid creates the acidic environment necessary
m
er as
for certain digestive enzymes to work ), mucus(viscous secretions protect the stomach lining
co
eH w
from the eroding effect of the acid), and enzymes(pepsin which begins the breakdown of

Absorption
vi y re
What happens after digestion has occurred? When digestion of the macronutrients is
ed d
complete, the simplified end products are ready for absorption. Carbohydrates – glucose,
ar stu
fructose and galactose (monosaccharides); Fat- fatty acids, monoglycerides, diglycerides,
is
and glycerol; Protein- amino acids, dipeptides;
Th
What substances are absorbed in each organ along the GI tract?
sh
What conditions or alterations in health can affect digestions & absorption? Removal of the
large intestine can lead to higher chance of dehydration. Chrons disease, gurd, celiac disease,
