The Vocabulary of Nutrition for Children, Adolescents, and Older Adults
mario62 [17]

Answer:

1. Picky eating; food jag

2. epiphyseal plates

3. bone mineral density (BMD)

4. obesity

5. food insecurity

6. life expectancy

7. arthritis

8. congregate meal

Explanation:

Picky eating is a behavior in early childhood when they refuse to eat certain foods and only want the same foods, while food jag is when a child only eats a small group of foods, meal after meal. The epiphyseal plate is a specialized layer of hyaline cartilage where chondrocytes (i.e., the only cells found in healthy cartilage) proliferate and differentiate during longitudinal bone growth. Arthritis is an inflammation of the joints caused by different reasons (e.g., injury, genetic causes, infections, immune system dysfunction, etc), whose risk increases with age. Bone mineral density (also known as bone density), is the amount of mineral in bone tissues, being the best manner to measure bone health. Obesity can be defined as an excessive amount of body fat that presents a risk to health. Over the past 30 years, the prevalence of obesity has doubled in children and tripled in adolescents, representing a serious health problem (especially in developed countries). Moreover, food insecurity is a social condition of limited access to food for individuals in a household to live an active, healthy life, which can be used as a metric of how many people cannot afford food. Life expectancy is an estimation of the number of years a person can expect to live in a given country/region. Life expectancy around the world has increased for nearly 200 years especially due to medical progress and access to food. Finally, a congregate meal refers to a healthy meal provided to anyone age 60 or over that encourages older adults' social connections with other persons at the meal sites.

What is the term for the involuntary muscular contractions that propel solid and semisolid materials through the alimentary cana
katrin [286]

Answer:

Peristalsis is the term for the involuntary muscular contractions that propel solid and semisolid materials through the alimentary canal.

Explanation:

Peristalsis is a wave-like muscle contraction due to the involuntary movements of the longitudinal and circular muscles in the alimentary canal (digestive tract).  It also occurs in other hollow tubes of the body such as the urinary tract. In the digestive tract, it begins at the upper portion of the esophagus and also occurs in the stomach and intestines.  

When food is swallowed, the peristaltic waves push the food down the esophagus into the stomach. The muscles in the stomach continue the peristalsis and the food moves through the digestive tract, where it is further digested and broken down with the help of digestive juices present in the stomach and small intestine. The peristalsis is continued by the muscles of small intestines, where the nutrients in the digested food are absorbed into the bloodstream. The movement of bile from the gallbladder into the duodenum of the small intestine also occurs via peristalsis. The undigested food is then passed to the large intestine, where the peristalsis continues and it is eliminated through the anus as feces after the reabsorption of water and some minerals.  

When peristalsis does not occur, it may cause disorders such as dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing foods and liquids), irritable bowel syndrome (diarrhea or constipation), esophageal spasms, gastroparesis (muscles of the stomach not moving food into the small intestine) and GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux disease).
