  • amino acids
    building blocks of proteins
  • Carbohydrate
    main source of energy in food
  • Calorie
    unit of energy
  • fat

    Cushions internal organs. Provides energy and helps your body absorb vitamins. Very energy dense (contains a lot of energy).

  • Vitamins

    Some foods have special things in them called vitamins. Vitamins help our bodies work well.

  • Minerals

    special nutrients found in different types of food. They help our bodies grow and stay healthy. Minerals are like tiny helpers that work inside us to keep us strong and healthy.

  • food groups
    categories of similar foods, such as fruits, vegetables, grains, protein, dairy
  • Food Pyramid Guide
    A diagram that classifies foods into six groups to help people plan a healthy diet.
  • water soluble vitamins
    B vitamins and vitamin C
  • Fat soluble vitamins
    Vitamins A, D, E, K
  • water
    60% of your mass is this. One of the most important factors for survival.
  • Digestion
    The process by which the body breaks down food into small nutrient molecules
  • Ingestion
    Intake of food
  • mechanical digestion
    Physical breakdown of large pieces of food into smaller pieces
  • chemical digestion

    Enzymes break down food into small molecules that the body can use

  • Enzymes

    Chemical proteins that speed up the breakdown of food in your stomach

  • salivary glands
    Glands of the mouth that produce saliva, a digestive secretion
  • Esophagus
    A muscular tube that connects the mouth to the stomach.
  • stomach
    large muscular sac that continues the mechanical and chemical digestion of food
  • small intestine
    The part of the digestive system in which most chemical digestion takes place.
  • large intestine
    The last section of the digestive system, where water is absorbed from food and the remaining material is eliminated from the body
  • rectum and anus
    control the excretion of solid waste
  • Peristalsis
    Involuntary waves of muscle contraction that keep food moving along in one direction through the digestive system.
  • Chyme
    mixture of enzymes and partially-digested food
  • duodenum
    first part of the small intestine
  • Villi
    Tiny finger-shaped structures that cover the inner surface of the small intestine and provide a large surface area through which digested food is absorbed
