Nutrition Facts:
• Animals fit into 3 dietary categories:
Herbivores – consumes mainly autotrophs
Carnivores – consumes mainly other animals
Omnivores – generally consumes both plants and animals
•

Nutritional needs must provide:
Fuel for all cellular work of the body
Organic raw materials used in biosynthesis
Essential nutrients
• Four main feeding mechanisms of animals
1) Suspension feeders – sift small food particles from the water
2) Substrate feeders – live on or in their food source, eating their
way through the food
3) Fluid feeders – suck nutrient-rich fluid from a living host
4) Bulk feeders – eat relatively large pieces of food

Nutrition Facts cont..
• Each animal requires a specific amount of calories depending
on weight, size, and species.
– Undernourishment – diet deficient in calories
– Overnourishment – diet with excess intake of calories
• Excess food is stored as fat
• Often leads to obesity
• An animal’s diet must also supply essential nutrients
– Malnourished – diet missing one or more essential nutrients
– Essential nutrients – organic materials in preassembled form that the
animal cannot make on its own
• Essential Amino Acids
– Eight are essential in adult humans; nine for infants (histidine)
– Provides proteins
– Some external sources are meat, eggs, cheese, and certain animal
products
Nutrition Facts cont.
• Essential Fatty Acids
– Certain unsaturated fats
– Makes phospholipids found in membranes
• Vitamins
– Organic molecules required in small amounts compared to essential
amino acids and fatty acids
– 13 identified vitamins
– Fat-soluble – A,D, E, and K
– Water-soluble – B and C
• Minerals
– Inorganic nutrients, usually required in small amounts
– Requirements vary with species
– Ex. Humans need calcium (builds bones and used for muscle and
nerve function), phosphorus(used in ATP and nucleic acids),
iron(found in blood), magnesium, iodine(make thyroid hormones),
sodium, potassium, chlorine, etc.
Human Digestive System
The Digestive System is important in absorbing external nutrients into the body.
Digestion is the process of breaking down large molecules of food into smaller
molecules that can be utilized by the body. The food is broken down by catalysts
and digestive juices in the digestive tract and its organs.
The Digestive System helps the body maintain homeostasis:
• The saliva in the mouth is slightly acidic so that food can be broken down more
easily without damaging teeth and gums.
• Digestive juices in the stomach, however, are extremely acidic to radically
increase the rate of digestion and to protect the body from any harmful microbes.
• The small intestine is very basic – in contrast to the stomach – so that digestive
enzymes can properly function.
• The large intestine contains many species of helpful bacteria that help with
digestion

•
Teeth begin the physical breakdown of food
into smaller pieces making it easier to digest
Begins chemical digestion of carbohydrates by
hydrolyzing starch and glycogen into smaller
polysaccharides and maltose
Tongue manipulates food into a ball
called a bolus
When swallowing tongue pushes bolus
into the pharynx (back of mouth)
Pharynx:
• The pharynx opens into two pipes:
trachea (windpipe) and esophagus
– Trachea: air passageway for
breathing
– When swallowing, top of trachea
(larynx) moves up and as a result, is
blocked by a flap called the
epiglottis
• When larynx is up and trachea is
blocked, bolus is able to enter the
esophagus
Esophagus :
•The esophagus is a tube that carries the bolus
into the stomach
•Bolus is pushed down the esophagus by
peristalsis, rhythmic waves of contraction by
smooth muscles in the wall of the canal
•Sphincters, muscular layers modified into ringlike waves, close the esophagus from the stomach

Presence of food stimulates glands in gastric pits to produce
gastric acid
–

–
–
Contains pepsinogen and hydrochloric acid (pepsin)
Pepsinogen is secreted by chief cells gastric pits
HCl is secreted by parietal cells in gastric pits
Pepsinogen and HCl combine to form pepsin, an enzyme that
begins the hydrolysis of proteins by breaking peptide bonds
between amino acids
– Gastric acid has a pH of 2
– Strong acid helps break food down into smaller, easier pieces to
digest, along with the churning of food by muscles of the stomach
wall
– Also denatures protein giving it greater exposure to its peptide
bonds

Resulting is acid chyme
Opening of stomach to small intestine is the pyloric sphincter,
squirts acid chyme into small intestine one at a time

Small Intestine [cont’d]…
• Has three segments: duodenum, jejunum, and ileum
– Duodenum( approx. 25cm): upper part of small intestine
• Acid chyme is mixed up with digestive juices from pancreas (bicarbonate,
which acts as a buffer, and proteases, which become activated once in
extracellular space), liver (produces bile, which contain bile salts which break
down fats), gallbladder (where bile is stored), and gland cells of the intestinal
wall itself.
• Other accessory glands of digestive system are the pancreas, gallbladder, and
liver.
• Epithelial lining secretes several digestive enzymes.

The Large Intestine (Colon):
• Connected to the small intestine in a T-shaped junction
• Has a small pouch, called a cecum, on lower right abdomen

humans

Examples of Feedback Mechanisms
in the Digestive System
• In digestion, there are both positive and negative
feedback loops. An example of a positive feedback loop
would be peptides which release acid and pepsinogen,
which then causes more peptides in the stomach to
release more acid and pepsinogen and so on and so
forth.
• An example of a negative feedback loop would be
when the stomach’s low pH restricts G cells from
secreting gastrin. This results in less acid secretion.
Human
Excretory
System
• Excretion is the process of removal of metabolic waste from your body. Carbon dioxide,
uric acid, water, salt and urea are all wastes removed by excretion. The primary organs of
excretion are the kidneys, lungs, and skin. Although excretory systems are diverse, they all
produce urine in a process that involves several steps.
• First, body fluid is collected. The collection usually involves filtration through
permeable membranes that are made up of a single layer of transport epithelium.
These permeable membranes help to retain cells and proteins in the bodily fluid.
• Blood pressure then forces water and other small solutes into the excretory
system, and that fluid is known as filtrate.
• The fluid collection is nonselective, and so it’s very important that the essential
small molecules are recovered from the filtrate and brought back to the body
fluids.
• The second step of the process is known as selective re-absorption. The excretory
system uses active transport to reabsorb come important solutes like glucose, amino
acids, and certain salts while the nonessential solutes are left in the filtrate or added
to the filtrate by selective secretion.
• Excretion helps the body in maintaining homeostasis because it removed metabolic waste
from the body. If metabolic waste, like urine, remained in the body, there would a build-up
of water concentration in the body; pH would change as well, and this would arouse
problems in the structure of proteins, irritating the body’s internal environment.
