NUTR311B - 01 - Nutrient Metabolism Part II

An in-depth consideration of the metabolic role of nutrients throughout the human life-cycle. The physiology and biochemistry of nutrients will be examined in terms of nutrient structure and function. Food sources of nutrients, nutrient requirements and standards will be studied along with the complete cycle of nutrient ingestion, absorption, metabolism, and excretion. Content will focus on macronutrients, fluid, and electrolyte metabolism. Integration of previous material from chemistry and physiology is essential.
