Nutrition &
Digestion
Vocabulary
 Absorption
– to take into
 Calorie – measurement for the
amount of energy in food
 Chemical Digestion – Breakdown
food into new substances
 Enzyme – substance produced by
the body to aid chemical digestion
Vocabulary
Hormone – substance produced and
secreted by the body to control certain
functions
 Mechanical Digestion – breakdown food
into smaller pieces
 Peristalsis – wavelike muscle
contractions to push food through the
digestive system
 Metabolism – all chemical reactions in
the body


Smaller
Pieces
__________
_________
2. Chemical: breakdown food into
Enzymes
simpler substances by using _____________
Absorption: nutrients are taken into the
____________system
to be transported
Circulatory
throughout the body
Organs that food passes
through:
Organ
Function
Mouth
Teeth: Mechanical digestion
Salivary Glands: Chemical digestion starch-> sugar
No
digestion
takes
place
here
Esophagus
Peristalsis: Muscular contraction
Stomach
Proteins broken down to simpler proteins
Secretes a thick wall of mucus
Ulcer
Small
Intestine
Irritation of the lining of the stomach
proteins-> amino acids;
Most digestion occurs here sugars-> glucose; fats->
Increases surface area; nutrients to be fatty acids & glycerol
Villi absorbed in to the circulatory system
Organs that food passes
through:

proteins
Produces Bile
Stores Bile
Absorbs excess water to
make solid Waste
No Function
Produces enzymes for chemical
digestion
Chemical Digestion
SugarGlucose
ProteinAmino Acid
FatsFatty Acid and Glycerol
Stores Solid Waste
Eliminates Solid Waste
Review - Magnetism
Strength is strongest at the poles (end)
 Opposite poles attract, move towards
each other (North and South)
 Like poles repel, push away from each
other (North and North or South and
South)
 The closer the magnets, the greater
the attraction or repulsion
 The farther away the magnets, the
weaker the attraction or repulsion

