Nutrition, feeding, and digestion (chapter 5)

Metabolism (chapters 6 and 7)

 

I.  Nutrition 111

          A.  Proteins

          B.  Lipids

          C.  Carbohydrates

          D.  Vitamins and minerals

 

II.    Feeding  118

III.   Organs of alimentary canal/functions

A.       Stomach:  cells lining stomach: goblet cell, parietal cell,

chief cell, mucosa cell, argentaffin cell, G cell

B.  Small Intestine

C.   Large intestine

IV. Tissue layers

V.  Sensors of the GI tract

VI. Adaptation associated with animal’s diet

          A.  Dentition

          B.  Length of digestive tract

Trophosomes- tubeworms near hydrothermal vents

Planaria

          C.  Herbivores, and omnivores; Monogastric Vs digastric

          D.  Carnivores Vs herbivores (fermentation chambers)

E.  Sharks

          F.  Birds

          G.  Rabbits-- Coprophagy

             

 V.  Digestion and Absorption

Enzymes involved in protein, carbohydrates, and lipid digestion:

their origins, sites of action, products of digestion, and how these products

are transported in the body  

  VIII.  Coordination of digestion-regulates secretion and mechanical activities

    A.    Neural control- vagal motor discharge

    B.    Endocrine control—where, when, why and how?

1.    Gastrin released by the stomach

2.    Secretin released by the small intestine

3.    CCK released by the small intestine

4.    GIP released by the small intestine

5.    The negative and positive feedback mechanisms that operate

                                  during the Cephalic phase, gastric phase, and intestinal phase
