Overview: The Need to Feed
•Food is taken in, taken apart, and taken up in the process of animal nutrition
• In general, animals fall into three categories:• Herbivores eat mainly autotrophs (plants and algae)• Carnivores eat other animals• Omnivores regularly consume animals as well as
plants or algal matter

Concept 41.1: An animal’s diet must supply chemical energy, organic molecules, and
essential nutrients
•An animal’s diet provides chemical energy, which is converted into ATP and powers processes in the body
•Animals need a source of organic carbon and organic nitrogen in order to construct organic molecules
•Essential nutrients are required by cells and must be obtained from dietary sources

Vitamins
•Vitamins are organic molecules required in the diet in small amounts
•13 vitamins essential to humans have been identified
•Vitamins are grouped into two categories: fat-soluble and water-soluble

Undernourishment
• An undernourished individual will • Use up stored fat and carbohydrates• Break down its own proteins• Lose muscle mass• Suffer protein deficiency of the brain• Die or suffer irreversible damage
• Malnourishment can cause deformities, disease, and death
• Malnourishment can be corrected by changes to a diet

•Digestion is the process of breaking food down into molecules small enough to absorb• In chemical digestion, the process of enzymatic
hydrolysis splits bonds in molecules with the addition of water
•Absorption is uptake of nutrients by body cells
•Elimination is the passage of undigested material out of the digestive compartment
![Page 22: Animals Eat Food Chap 41 (nutrition). Overview: The Need to Feed Food is taken in, taken apart, and taken up in the process of animal nutritionFood is](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5519204055034626428b4b49/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Digestion types
• In intracellular digestion, food particles are engulfed by endocytosis and digested within food vacuoles
•Extracellular digestion is the breakdown of food particles outside of cells
• It occurs in compartments that are continuous with the outside of the animal’s body

•Animals with simple body plans have a gastrovascular cavity that functions in both digestion and distribution of nutrients
•More complex animals have a digestive tube with two openings, a mouth and an anus
•This digestive tube is called a complete digestive tract or an alimentary canal
• It can have specialized regions that carry out digestion and absorption in a stepwise fashion

Concept 41.3: Organs specialized for sequential stages of food processing form the mammalian digestive
system
• The mammalian digestive system consists of an alimentary canal and accessory glands that secrete digestive juices through ducts
• Mammalian accessory glands are the salivary glands, the pancreas, the liver, and the gallbladder
• Food is pushed along by peristalsis, rhythmic contractions of muscles in the wall of the canal
• Valves called sphincters regulate the movement of material between compartments

The Oral Cavity, Pharynx, and Esophagus
• The first stage of digestion is mechanical and takes place in the oral cavity
• Salivary glands deliver saliva to lubricate food
• Teeth chew food into smaller particles that are exposed to salivary amylase, initiating breakdown of glucose polymers
![Page 32: Animals Eat Food Chap 41 (nutrition). Overview: The Need to Feed Food is taken in, taken apart, and taken up in the process of animal nutritionFood is](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5519204055034626428b4b49/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
• The tongue shapes food into a bolus and provides help with swallowing
• The region we call our throat is the pharynx, a junction that opens to both the esophagus and the trachea (windpipe)
• The trachea leads to the lungs
• The esophagus conducts food from the pharynx down to the stomach by peristalsis
• Swallowing causes the epiglottis to block entry to the trachea, and the bolus is guided by the larynx, the upper part of the respiratory tract
• Coughing occurs when the swallowing reflex fails and food or liquids reach the windpipe

Digestion in the Stomach
• The stomach stores food and secretes gastric juice, which converts a meal to acid chyme
• The esophagus conducts food from the pharynx down to the stomach by peristalsis
• Swallowing causes the epiglottis to block entry to the trachea, and the bolus is guided by the larynx, the upper part of the respiratory tract
• Coughing occurs when the swallowing reflex fails and food or liquids reach the windpipe

Digestion in the Small Intestine
•The small intestine is the longest section of the alimentary canal
• It is the major organ of digestion and absorption
![Page 37: Animals Eat Food Chap 41 (nutrition). Overview: The Need to Feed Food is taken in, taken apart, and taken up in the process of animal nutritionFood is](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5519204055034626428b4b49/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Pancreatic Secretions
•The pancreas produces proteases trypsin and chymotrypsin, protein-digesting enzymes that are activated after entering the duodenum
• Its solution is alkaline and neutralizes the acidic chyme
![Page 38: Animals Eat Food Chap 41 (nutrition). Overview: The Need to Feed Food is taken in, taken apart, and taken up in the process of animal nutritionFood is](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5519204055034626428b4b49/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Bile Production by the Liver
• In the small intestine, bile aids in digestion and absorption of fats
•Bile is made in the liver and stored in the gallbladder
![Page 39: Animals Eat Food Chap 41 (nutrition). Overview: The Need to Feed Food is taken in, taken apart, and taken up in the process of animal nutritionFood is](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5519204055034626428b4b49/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Secretions of the Small Intestine
•The epithelial lining of the duodenum, called the brush border, produces several digestive enzymes
•Enzymatic digestion is completed as peristalsis moves the chyme and digestive juices along the small intestine
•Most digestion occurs in the duodenum; the jejunum and ileum function mainly in absorption of nutrients and water
![Page 40: Animals Eat Food Chap 41 (nutrition). Overview: The Need to Feed Food is taken in, taken apart, and taken up in the process of animal nutritionFood is](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5519204055034626428b4b49/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Absorption in the Small Intestine
•The small intestine has a huge surface area, due to villi and microvilli that are exposed to the intestinal lumen
•The enormous microvillar surface greatly increases the rate of nutrient absorption
![Page 41: Animals Eat Food Chap 41 (nutrition). Overview: The Need to Feed Food is taken in, taken apart, and taken up in the process of animal nutritionFood is](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5519204055034626428b4b49/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

•Each villus contains a network of blood vessels and a small lymphatic vessel called a lacteal
•After glycerol and fatty acids are absorbed by epithelial cells, they are recombined into fats within these cells
•These fats are mixed with cholesterol and coated with protein, forming molecules called chylomicrons, which are transported into lacteals

Absorption in the Large Intestine
•The colon of the large intestine is connected to the small intestine
•The cecum aids in the fermentation of plant material and connects where the small and large intestines meet
•The human cecum has an extension called the appendix, which plays a very minor role in immunity

•A major function of the colon is to recover water that has entered the alimentary canal
•Wastes of the digestive tract, the feces, become more solid as they move through the colon
•Feces pass through the rectum and exit via the anus
![Page 46: Animals Eat Food Chap 41 (nutrition). Overview: The Need to Feed Food is taken in, taken apart, and taken up in the process of animal nutritionFood is](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5519204055034626428b4b49/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
•The colon houses strains of the bacterium Escherichia coli, some of which produce vitamins
•Feces are stored in the rectum until they can be eliminated
•Two sphincters between the rectum and anus control bowel movements
