Food and Energy
You need to eat food to obtain energy.
The energy in food is measured in Calories
(capital C). One Calorie is equal to 1000 calories.
One calorie is the amount of heat needed to raise
the temperature of one gram of water by one
degree Celsius.

Caloric needs vary for each person.
An average-sized female teenager needs about 2200
Calories a day.
An average-sized male teenager needs about 2800
Calories a day.
If you exercise regularly, your energy needs may be
higher.

Every cell in the human body needs
water because many of the body's

Water makes up blood, lymph, and other bodily
fluids.
Water is lost during sweating, when it evaporates to
cool the body.
Water vapor is also lost from the body with every
breath you exhale and in urine.
Humans need to drink at least one liter of water each
day.

Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are the main source of energy for
the body.
There are two types of carbohydrates:
• simple
• complex
Slide

38–1 Food and Nutrition
Nutrients
Simple carbohydrates are found in fruits, honey,
and sugar cane.
Simple carbohydrates do not need to be digested or
broken down.
Complex carbohydrates, or starches, are found in
grains, potatoes, and vegetables.
Complex carbohydrates need to be broken down
before they can be used by the body.
Many foods contain the complex carbohydrate
cellulose, or fiber.

Fiber is needed in your diet.
Bulk supplied by fiber helps muscles keep food and
wastes moving through your digestive and excretory
systems.
Whole-grain breads and many fruits and vegetables
have fiber.

Fats
Fats, or lipids, are an important part of a healthy
diet.
Fats are formed from fatty acids and glycerol.

Fats are needed:
• to produce cell membranes, myelin sheaths
around neurons, and certain hormones.
• to help the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins.
• to protect body organs and insulate the body.
Slide

38–1 Food and Nutrition
Nutrients
Fats are classified as saturated or unsaturated.
When there are only single bonds between carbon
atoms in the fatty acids, the fat is saturated.
Most saturated fats are solids at room temperature—
including butter and other animal fats.
Slide

Nutrients
Unsaturated fats have at least one double bond in a
fatty acid chain.
Unsaturated fats are usually liquids at room
temperature.
Because many vegetable oils contain more than one
double bond, they are called polyunsaturated.

Proteins
Proteins supply raw materials for growth and repair
of structures such as skin and muscle.
They have regulatory and transport functions.
Proteins are polymers of amino acids.
The body can synthesize only 12 of the 20 amino
acids used to make proteins.
The other 8 amino acids are called essential amino
acids; they must come from food.

Nutrients
Animal products, including meat, fish, eggs, and milk,
contain all 8 essential amino acids.
Foods derived from plants, such as grains and
beans, do not.
Therefore, people who don’t eat animal products
must eat a combination of plant foods to obtain all of
the essential amino acids.

There are two types of vitamins:

Chewing begins mechanical digestion, which is
the physical breakdown of large pieces of
food into smaller pieces.
Slide

The
Mouth
The teeth cut, tear, and crush food into small
fragments.
As the teeth cut and grind the food, salivary
glands secrete saliva, which moistens food
and makes it easier to chew.

The

Saliva helps ease the passage of food
through the digestive system and also
begins the process of chemical digestion.
Saliva contains amylase, an enzyme that
breaks the chemical bonds in starches and
releases sugars.
Saliva also contains lysozyme, an enzyme
that fights infection.

The Esophagus
From the throat, the chewed food passes
through the esophagus, or food tube, into
the stomach.
Food is moved along by contractions of smooth
muscle.
These contractions, known as peristalsis,
squeeze the food through the esophagus
into the stomach.

Chemical Digestion
The stomach lining has millions of gastric
glands that release substances into the
stomach.
Some glands produce mucus, which lubricates and
protects the stomach wall.
Other glands produce hydrochloric acid, which
makes the stomach contents very acidic.
Other glands produce pepsin, an enzyme that
digests protein.

The stomach contracts to churn fluids and food,
gradually producing a mixture known as

stomach and small intestine opens and
chyme flows into the small intestine.

The Large Intestine
When the chyme leaves the small intestine, it
enters the large intestine, or colon.
The large intestine removes water from the
chyme.
Water is absorbed quickly, leaving undigested
materials behind.
Concentrated waste material passes through
the rectum and is eliminated from the body.

Fluid from the blood flows into Bowman’s

acids, and some vitamins.

large to pass through the capillary walls.

Almost 99% of the water that enters

When you drink a liquid, it is absorbed into
the blood through the digestive system.
As a result, the concentration of water in
the blood increases.
As the amount of water in the blood
increases, the rate of water reabsorption in
the kidneys decreases.
Less water is returned to the blood, and
excess water is sent to the urinary bladder
to be excreted as urine.

When the kidneys detect an increase in
salt, they respond by returning less salt to

The outer part is called the renal cortex.
Blood enters the kidney through the renal artery
The kidney removes urea, excess water, and other waste
products and passes them to the ureter
The clean, filtered blood leaves the kidney through the renal
vein and returns to circulation

How is Blood filtered?
As blood enters a nephron, impurities are
filtered out and emptied into the collecting
duct
The purified blood exits the nephron
through the venule (vein)
The mechanism of blood purification
involves two distinct processes: filtration
and reabsorption

Filtration
a. - Passing a liquid or gas through a filter to remove
wastes
b. - mainly takes place in the glomerulus
c. The glomerulus is a small network of
capillaries encased in the top of the nephron
by a hollow, cup-shaped structure called
Bowman's capsule.

The Kidneys
Reabsorption
a. Most of the material removed from the blood
at Bowman's capsule makes its way back
into the blood.
b. The process in which liquid is taken back
into a vessel is called reabsorption
c. Almost 99% of the water that enters
Bowman’s capsule is reabsorbed into the
blood.

As the kidney works, purified blood is
returned to circulation while urine is
collected in the urinary bladder.
Urine is stored here until it is released
from the body through a tube called the
urethra.

Control of Kidney Function
a. The activity of the kidneys is mostly
controlled by the composition of the blood.
b. In addition, regulatory hormones are
released in response to the composition of
blood.

For Example:
When you drink a liquid, it is absorbed into
the blood
- As a result, the concentration of water in the blood
increases
- As the amount of water in the blood increases
the rate of water reabsorption in the kidneys decreases
Therefore:
Less water is returned to the blood, and
excess water is sent to the urinary bladder

Homeostasis by Machine
a. Humans have two kidneys, but can survive
with only one.
b. If both kidneys are damaged by disease or
injury, there are two options:
•
a kidney transplant
•
kidney dialysis

Kidney dialysis works as follows:
a. Blood is removed by a tube and pumped
through special tubing that acts like
nephrons
b. Tiny pores in the tubing allow salts and small
molecules to pass through
c. Wastes diffuse out of the blood into the fluidfilled chamber, allowing purified blood to be
returned to the body
