Pancreas and Nutrition

Pancreas Functions: 1. Exocrine 2. Endocrine

Pancreas Exocrine: Secretes into ducts, dumps into duodenum. 3 big Ezymes?

1. Trypsin – works on proteins 2. Lipase – works on fats EXOCRINE 1. Trypsin – works on proteins 2. Lipase – works on fats 3. Amylase – works on Carbohydrates (starch)

Secretes hormones into blood stream. ENDOCRINE ENDOCRINE: Secretes hormones into blood stream.

1. Insulin: Decrease glucose in blood: ENDOCRINE 1. Insulin: Decrease glucose in blood: A) Allows cells to take in glucose B) glucose  glycogen

1. Glucagon: INCREASE glucose in blood: ENDOCRINE 1. Glucagon: INCREASE glucose in blood: A) Glycogen  glucose B) Cell release glucose into blood stream

Carbohydrates Contain C, H, O Quickest form of energy Simple: only has sugar Complex: Sugars + fiber + other stuff.

Carbohydrates Energy: 4.1 Kcals gram

LIPIDS Highest energy source 9.3 Kcals gram

4.1 Kcals gram Good energy, but harder to use then carbohydrates Proteins Good energy, but harder to use then carbohydrates 4.1 Kcals gram

But you need them for coenzymes Vitamins and Minerals NO ENERGY But you need them for coenzymes

OTHERS Water: Used to dissolve things

Fiber Prevents Colon cancer, keeps things moving along through the L.I.
