ACCESSORY Organs

Pancreas—both endocrine & exocrine gland

Liver—removes bilirubin (from RBC) as bilestores Fe & fat sol. ADEK vit.regulates sugar in blood (glycogen)makes plasma proteins, bile, urea (N) &cholesterol

XXX Jaundice, hepatitis (A,B & C), cirrhosis

Gallbladder—concentrates and stores bile fromliver cells

NUTRITION

Carbohydrates—ready source of energyComplex ones are better= bulk of food

Fiber--Insoluble—laxativelikeSoluble (oat bran) combo with bile

acids and cholesterolProtein—8 are essential (required)Lipids—less than 30% or plaque

(cause disease)(( olestra (fake fat)—can’t digest it))

VITAMINS

Define—organic compound body uses for metabolic reasons—can make them allAntioxidants—free radicals made are unstable and carry an extra electron= damage (A, C, E)Vitamin D –by skin in sun, modified by kidneys and liver to calcitrol to absorb Ca

MINERALS

Macro—(Need more than 100 mg/day)Ca—need 1000-1500/ day or osteoporosis

vitamin D and Mg help to prevent itNa—need 500 mg/day BUT we often get

8X as much! (X blood pressure )+ P,K,Cl, Mg

Micro—(need less than 20mg/day)Zn,Fe,Cu,I,Se—specific necessary roles
