Metabolism (DAT)
Metabolism - ANS - the sum of all chemical reactions that occur in the body.
Catabolic - breakdown large chemicals and release energy
Anabolic - build up large chemicals and require energy
Ingestion - - ANS the acquisition and consumption of food
Digestion - ANS the process of converting food into a usable soluble form so it can pass
through membranes in the digestive tract
Absorption - ANS the passage of nutrient molecules through the lining of the digestive tract into
the body
Transport - ANS the circulation of essential components required to nourish the tissues and the
removal waste of products from the tissues
Assimilation - ANS the building up of new tissues from digested food materials
Respiration - ANS The consumption of oxygen by the body... Cells use O2 to convert glucose
into ATP, a ready source of energy for cellular activity
Excretion - ANS the removal of waste products produced during metabolic processes like
respiration and assimilation
Regulation - ANS the control of physiological activities, the body's metabolism functions to
maintain its internal environment in a changing external environment.
Homeostasis - ANS the steady state of the internal environment
Irritability - ANS the ability to respond to a stimulus and is a part of regulation
External Respiration - ANS - entrance of air into the lungs and the gas exchange between
alveoli and the blood
Internal Respiration - ANS includes the exchange of gas between the blood and the cells
Dehydrogenation - ANS an oxidative reaction when H+ atoms are removed from organic
molecules....
