Define the following terms: digestion, absorption, mucus, hormones, enzymes, epiglottis2. Identify the organ systems that assist with digestion and absorption of nutrients and those that assist with the elimination of metabolic waste products.3. List the organs that make up the digestive system, including the accessory organs.4. Describe how each of the organs involved with the digestion system assists with digestion and absorption.5. List the 3 sphincters associated with the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) discussed in this lecture and describe where they are located.6. Distinguish between mechanical digestion and chemical digestion.Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.Chapter 3 Learning Objectives7. Explain the roles of saliva, mucus, enzymes, bicarbonate, hormones, and hydrochloric acid in digestion. 8. Identify the enzyme or group of enzymes responsible for digestion of the macronutrients.9. Explain how the structure of the lumen of the small intestine aids in the function of the small intestine.10. Outline the process of digestion and absorption, from the mouth to the anus.11. Discuss the methods of the absorption of nutrients from the small intestine. 12. Describe the role of the cardiovascular system and lymphatic system in distributing nutrients and oxygen to the cells in the body and in the elimination of waste.13. Explain how the GIT protects us from infectionCopyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.Chapter 3 Learning Objectives13. Discuss the role of the microflora (gut flora) in maintaining health, including their function in metabolism of nutrients.14. Define prebiotics and probiotics.15. Describe the causes of food allergies.16. Describe celiac disease. 17. Identify food groups that those with celiac disease may consume and food groups that need to be avoided.18. Define GERD, why it occurs, and identify complications associated with it if left untreated.19. Define peptic ulcer and discuss its major cause.20. Describe diarrhea, constipation, and diverticula.21. Identify primary causes for constipation and diarrhea.Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.Organs and organ systemsDefinitions:Organ:A structure that is made up of more than one tissue that performs a specialized functionOrgan system:A group of organs that work together to perform a specific taskMultiple organ systems in the bodyCopyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.© 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
