Learning ObjectivesLearning Objectives
Describe the levels of organization in the body, and identify some basic ways in which nutrition supports them.
Compare the terms mechanical digestion and chemical digestion, and point out where these processes occur along the digestive tract.
Trace the breakdown and absorption of carbohydrate, fat, and protein from the mouth to the colon.

The Body’s CellsThe Body’s Cells
Body is composed of trillions of cells Body needs nutrients Cells are self-contained, living entities
Depend on one another Basic needs
Essential nutrients Cells die at varying rates

Four basic chemical tastes Sweet, sour, bitter, and salty Savory
Sweet, salty, and fatty foods Almost universally desired Can lead to drastic overeating of these
substances

The Digestive SystemThe Digestive System
Digestive tract Flexible, muscular tube
Path Total length of about 26 feet Body surrounds digestive canal
System’s job is to digest food to its components, absorb, and excrete System works at two levels
