Interest Grabber • Good Food Sense • Nutrients are molecules that provide the body with energy and materials for growth. Three kinds of nutrients you eat are called fats, proteins, and carbohydrates—terms you may have already heard. Think about what they may mean. 1. Write a brief description of what you think fats, proteins, and carbohydrates are. 2. Which of these three nutrients do you think should make up the largest part of your diet? Which should make up the smallest part? Arrange the three nutrients in order starting from the one that you should eat the most to the one that you should eat the least. 3. Why might it be unwise to eat too much of the nutrient you listed last?

Milk, Yogurt, and Cheese Group (2-3 Servings) Milk and other dairy products are rich in proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. Meat, Poultry, Fish, Dry Beans, Eggs, and Nut Group (2-3 servings) These foods are high in protein. They also supply vitamins and minerals. Vegetable Group (3-5 servings) Vegetables are a low-fat source of carbohydrates,fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Fruit Group (2-4 servings) Fruits are good sources of carbohydrates, fiber, vitaminsand water. Food Guide Pyramid Fats, Oils, and Sweets (use sparingly) Soft drinks, candy, ice cream, mayonnaise, and other foods in this group have relatively few valuable nutrients. Bread, Cereal, Riceand Pasta Group (6-11 servings) The foods at the base of the pyramid are rich in complex carbohydrates and also provide proteins, fiber, vitamins, and some minerals. Fats Sugars
Interest Grabber • Dinner Is Served • Remember the last time you sat down to a dinner of your favorite foods? Recall everything that you did before you swallowed your first bite. 1. Why do you cut up your food? 2. What role do your teeth play in eating? 3. Saliva is the fluid that is found in your mouth. What role do you think it plays in eating?
The Digestive System • Also called the: • Gastrointestinal tract (GI tract) • Alimentary canal • Function: • Break down food • Prepare it for absorption • Eliminate waste
Mouth Pharynx Salivary glands Esophagus Liver Stomach Pancreas (behind stomach) Gallbladder (behind liver) Large intestine Small intestine Rectum The Digestive System
The Process of Digestion Two types of digestion: • Mechanical - physical breakdown of food • Chemical - chemical breakdown of food A. Oral (Buccal) cavity - The Mouth 1. Teeth – begins the mechanical digestion 2. Saliva – contains digestive enzymes that help begin the chemical digestive process • Hard palate – anterior roof of the mouth • Soft palate – posterior roof of the mouth
Pharynx – back of the throat • Esophagus – carries food from the pharynx to the stomach • Stomach – saclike structure located in the left upper quadrant (LUQ) that is made of rugae (folds) • 3 main parts: • Fundus – upper part • Body-large central part • Pylorus-funnel shaped part at the lower end of the stomach • Chemical Digestion – hydrochloric acid and enzymes • Mechanical Digestion
Small Intestines • 20 foot long tube that extends from the pyloric sphinctor to the large intestines • Consists of 3 parts: • Duodenum – upper most part – approx. 10 inches long • Jejunum – middle part - approx. 8 feet long • Ileum – lower part - approx. 12 feet long • Digestion is completed here along with enzymes from the pancreas and liver • Contains finger-like projections called villi that aid in absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream
Circular folds Epithelial cells Villi Capillaries Lacteal Vein Artery The Small Intestine Section 38-2 Villus Small Intestine
Large Intestines • Passageway for waste products beginning at the end of the ileum and extending to the anus • About 5 feet in length • Function is to absorb water and minerals and eliminate waste • Cecum – 2-3 inches • Appendix – small appendage • Ascending colon • Transverse colon • Descending colon • Sigmoid colon • Rectum • Anus
Liver Bile duct Pancreas Gallbladder Pancreatic duct Duodenum To small intestine The Liver and the Pancreas Section 38-2
The Digestive Enzymes Section 38-2 Site Mouth Stomach Small intestine(from pancreas) Small intestine Enzyme Role in Digestion Breaks down starches into disaccharides Breaks down proteins into large peptides Continues the breakdown of starch Continues the breakdown of protein Breaks down fat Breaks down remaining disaccharides into monosaccharides Breaks down dipeptides into amino acids. Salivary amylase Pepsin Amylase Trypsin Lipase Maltase, sucrase, lactase Peptidase
Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD) • Open sore in the digestive tract caused by: • Action of the hydrochloric acid • Helicobacter pylori bacteria • S/S • Heartburn, abdominal pain • Tx • Antibiotics • Nonsteriodal anti-inflammatory • drugs • Avoiding caffeine, smoking, and • alcohol
Hernia • Protusion of any organ, tissue, or structure through the wall of the cavity in which it is naturally contained • Inguinal - groin • Umbilical - umbilicus • Diaphragmatic - abdomen • Hiatal - abdomen • S/S • Varies according to site • Tx • Surgical repair
Intestinal Obstruction • Partial or complete blockage in the small or large intestines that prevents forward flow of digestive products caused by tumors, twisting of the intestines, scar tissue, etc. • S/S • Abdominal pain, vomiting • Lack of bowel sounds • Tx • Insertion of an intestinal tube • Surgery
Hemorrhoids • Enlarged veins in the anal canal caused by pressure from straining during bowel movements, pregnancy, prolonged sitting • S/S • Bleeding, pain, itching • Tx • Cold compresses • Stool softeners • Analgesic ointments • Surgical removal
Hepatitis • Inflammation of the liver • Hepatitis A - Infectious Hepatitis • Hepatitis B or C - Serum Hepatitis • S/S • Hepatitis A – nausea, vomiting, diarrhea • Hepatitis B, C – possible flu-like symptoms, by may remain asymptomatic for years • Both - Jaundice • Tx • Hepatitis A – no specific tx available • Hepatitis B- vaccination or immune globulin after exposure
Diverticulitis • Small, blisterlike pockets develop in the inner lining of the large intestines and may balloon through the intestinal wall • S/S • Usually asymptomatic unless they become inflamed • Pain in the LLQ, extreme constipation, or diarrhea, fever, occasional blood in the stool • Tx • Antibiotics • Soft diet • Surgery in severe cases
