Processing the food we eat

• Why do we need food? –Reactants for cell respiration (energy)–Building blocks for new cells, tissues, etc. –Essential nutrients: minerals, vitamins, etc.

• What happens to materials we can’t use? –Stored for later–Excreted–Converted into something we can use

Page 2: Processing the food we eat

Two main systems involved:

• Digestive: Breaks down food into small molecules (monomers!) and absorb the nutrients into the blood stream for delivery

Page 3: Processing the food we eat

Two main systems involved: • Excretory: Maintain Homeostasis– internal balance of chemicals–Rids body of metabolic wastes•Wastes produced by body’s metabolism•Eg: Salts, Carbon Dioxide, Urea

• BUT how do we deliver the “good stuff”?

FiltrationMost filtration occurs in the glomerulus. Blood pressure forces water,

salt, glucose, amino acids, and urea into Bowman’s

capsule. Proteins and blood cells are too large to cross the membrane;

they remain in the blood. The fluid that enters the

renal tubules is called the filtrate.

ReabsorptionAs the filtrate flows through the renal

tubule, most of the water and nutrients are

reabsorbed into the blood. The concentrated

fluid that remains is called urine.

SecretionSubstances such as hydrogen ions are

transferred from the blood to the filtrate.
