Energy is available to the body in three forms: (1) lipids (fats), (2) proteins (broken into amino acids), and (3) glucose (simple sugar byproducts of carbohydrates) Energy metabolism occurs in three phases (use Digital Image CH10F03.BMP); open in browser PRO version

1) the cephalic phase (preparatory), 2) absorptive phase (energy absorbed into the bloodstream), and 3) the fasting phase (body utilizes food stores) The first influential study of the physiological basis of hunger was conducted in 1912 by Canon and Washburn;
Washburn swallowed a balloon on the end of a thin tube, the balloon was partially
inflated, and a pressure gauge was attached to the other end of the tube each time that he had a large stomach contraction, Washburn reported a pang of hunger; this led to the view that stomach contractions are a major factor in hunger. But the finding that animals whose stomachs had been denervated or completely removed ate enough to maintain their body weights discredited this view; in addition, people with no stomachs report feeling hungry and maintain their body weights; they eat
