and Answers 100% Correct (verified)
‣ absorption -✓✓movement of the smaller elements through the walls of the
digestive tract and into the blood
‣ amino acids -✓✓building blocks of proteins. must be consumed every day, the
human body does not produce or store excess amino acids for later use
‣ anabolism -✓✓the use of energy to change simple materials into complex body
substances and tissue; one of the major biochemical processes that make up
metabolism
‣ anorexia -✓✓loss of appetite in patients experiencing illness or side effects from
allergies, medications, or treatments (ex. chemotherapy suppresses desire to eat)
‣ anorexia nervosa -✓✓serious disorder where patient exhibits life-threatening
practices as a result of an altered mental state

- distortion of body image (intense fear of gaining weight, being viewed as "fat")
when patient's weight is less than healthy or normal.
‣ anthropometry -✓✓the study of human body measurements (for adults, it consists
of height, weight, BMI, and waist to hip ratio)
‣ aspiration -✓✓inhalation of fluid or foreign matter into the lungs and bronchi
‣ basal metabolic rate (BMR) -✓✓the minimum amount of energy required to
maintain body functions in the resting, awake state
‣ bingeing -✓✓the intake of excessive amounts of food
‣ body mass index (BMI) -✓✓a measure of body weight relative to height
- underweight- BMI less than 18.5

muscle mass; often seen in patients suffering from terminal illnesses who are
unable to consume an adequate intake of food
‣ carbohydrates -✓✓major suppliers of energy and include sugars, starches, and
fiber (4 kilocalories per gram of protein)
‣ catabolism -✓✓the breaking down of substances from complex to simple,
resulting in a release of energy (ex. breaking down of proteins into amino acids).
One of the biochemical processes that make up metabolism
‣ cholesterol -✓✓waxy, fatlike substance that is found in all cells of the body. 75%
is produced by the liver and intestines, the remaining 25% is obtained from dietary
intake
‣ chyme -✓✓a semiliquid mass, from digestion of food, that travels through the
intestines
‣ digestion -✓✓breaking down of food into smaller particles of nutrients
‣ dysphagia -✓✓difficulty swallowing
‣ enteral feeding -✓✓provide short-term nutritional support for patients with a
functional GI tract, but cannot swallow, refuse to eat, or need additional nutrients
to meet the body's needs via tube (NG tube, G, tube, PEG tube)
‣ enzymes -✓✓proteins responsible for catalyzing chemical reactions in the body
(digesting food and synthesizing new compounds)
‣ fat-soluble vitamins -✓✓Vitamins A, D, E, K
- Excess fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the liver and fat tissue, not excreted by
the kidneys
‣ fiber -✓✓complex carbohydrate that is classified as soluble or insoluble; assists
with bowel movements
