Section 1 Nutrients
Six Classes of Nutrients
• Some organisms must obtain energy from
nutrients in the food they consume.
– A nutrient is a substance required by the body
for energy, growth, repair, and maintenance.
• All foods contain at least one of the six basic
nutrients, and some can contain more.
– The six basic nutrients are carbohydrates,
proteins, lipids, vitamins, minerals, and water.

• Nutritionists classify foods into six groups.
– These six groups are: meat, milk, fruits,
vegetables, breads/cereals, and
fats/oils/sweets.
• The USDA Food Guide Pyramid shows the
number of servings from each food group needed
for a balanced diet.
• Nutrients provide energy for powering cellular
processes.

Carbohydrates, Proteins, and Lipids
• The three nutrients needed by the body in the
greatest amounts are carbohydrates, proteins,
and lipids.
– All of these nutrients are called organic
compounds, which are compounds that
contain the elements carbon, hydrogen, and
oxygen.
• An example of a carbohydrate is pasta; an
example of a protein is chicken; and an example
of lipids is olive oil.

Section 2 Digestive System
The Gastrointestinal Tract
• The process of breaking down food into
molecules the body can use is called digestion.
• Digestion occurs in the gastrointestinal tract, or
digestive tract, which is a long tube which begins
at the mouth and winds through the body to the
anus.
• Organs next to the digestive tract also aid in the
digestion of food through the secretions that
they produce.

• Esophagus
– The ball of food is then forced by
swallowing action into the pharynx.
– The pharynx is an open area that begins at
the back of the mouth, and serves as a
passageway for both air and food.
– The ball of food is then forced from the
pharynx into the esophagus.

Section 2 Digestive System
The Mouth and Esophagus, continued
• Esophagus, continued
– The esophagus has two
muscle layers and by
alternating contractions
between these muscle layers,
the ball of food can be pushed
into the stomach.

Stomach, continued
• Mechanical Digestion, continued
– The inner lining of the stomach is a mucous
membrane that is composed of epithelial cells
and openings called gastric pits.
– Gastric pits are the open ends of gastric
glands that release secretions into the
stomach.
– These secretions form the acidic digestive
fluid that digests food in the stomach.

• Chemical Digestion
– Gastric fluid carries out chemical digestion in
the stomach.
• Gastric fluid is a liquid that is secreted by
the gastric glands in the stomach.
– Hydrochloric acid within the gastric fluid helps
dissolve food and minerals and keep bacteria
at bay.

Stomach, continued
• Chemical Digestion, continued
– Mucus secreted in the stomach forms a
coating that protects the lining of the stomach
from hydrochloric acid and other digestive
enzymes.
– An ulcer will result if the mucous layer is
absent from the stomach lining.
• An ulcer is a lesion of the surface of the
skin or a mucous membrane of the
stomach.

Stomach, continued
• Formation of Chyme
– After food enters the stomach, it closes by
way of the cardiac sphincter.
• The cardiac sphincter is a circular muscle
located between the esophagus and the
stomach.
– While closed, the stomach churns to break up
the food and mixes it with the gastric fluid.
This process forms a mixture called chyme.

• Formation of Chyme, continued
– Peristalsis forces the chyme into the small
intestine from the stomach.
– The pyloric sphincter controls the amount of
chyme that enters the small intestine from the
stomach.
– Digestion in the stomach is also aided by other
organs near the stomach.

• Pancreas
– The pancreas is an organ that lies behind the stomach.
The pancreas serves two roles in its part in the digestive
system.
• The first role it plays is to increase the pH of the
stomach acid by producing sodium bicarbonate.
• The second role it plays is to secrete enzymes that
help to further break down carbohydrates, proteins,
lipids and nucleic acids.

Small Intestine, continued
• Absorption, continued
– The surface area of the small intestine is large
due to the presence of many folds within the
lining of the small intestine and the millions of
villi that are also present.
– The surface area is further increased by the
presence of microvilli.
• Microvilli are extensions of the cell
membranes present on the villi.

– Nutrients are sent to the correct place by the
lacteals.
• The lacteals are capillaries and tiny lymph
vessels within the villi.
– The lacteals will take the nutrients to either the
liver or the lymph vessels, and then the blood
will take over delivery of the nutrients to the
cells.

Large Intestine
• Once absorption is complete in the small
intestine, peristalsis will move the remaining
contents into the colon or large intestine.
• The colon has various sections, and all of these
sections work together to finish the absorption of
nutrients and water.
• The colon initiates contractions that move the
material out of the body.

Section 3 Urinary System
Nephrons, continued
• At one end of the nephron is the Bowman’s
capsule. The Bowman’s capsule is a cup-shaped
capsule that surrounds a tight ball of capillaries.
• This ball of capillaries filters wastes from the
blood, retains useful molecules, and produces
urine. This ball of capillaries is called a
glomerulus.
• The nephron and the capillaries of the circulatory
system work closely together to remove wastes
from the blood.

Nephrons, continued
• Once the blood has been filtered, the material
filtered out flows to the renal tubule.
• The renal tubule includes three parts: the
proximal convoluted tubule, the loop of Henle,
and the distal convoluted tubule.
• The blood still in the glomerulus travels through a
bed of capillaries and to the renal vein.
• The three major processes that take place in the
nephron are filtration, reabsorption, and
secretion.

Filtration
• Filtration is the process of separating dissolved
substances, such as impurities in the blood, by
passing them through a porous material.
– Filtration occurs between the glomerulus and
the Bowman’s capsule in the nephrons of a
kidney.
– Filtration occurs because the blood in the
glomerulus is under high pressure.

Chapter 48
Section 3 Urinary System
Reabsorption and Secretion
• The process of reabsorption allows the body to
retain many of the substances that were removed
from the blood by filtration.
– Most reabsorption occurs in the proximal
convoluted tubule, but some can occur in the
distal convoluted tubule.
• In the distal convoluted tubule, some substances
pass from the blood into the filtrate through a
process called secretion.

Chapter 48
Section 3 Urinary System
Reabsorption and Secretion, continued
• Formation of Urine
– The fluid and wastes that remain in the distal
convoluted tubule form urine.
– The urine is further concentrated in the
collecting duct by the osmosis of water
through the wall of the duct. This process
allows the body to conserve water.
