Start with the events that occur in the mouth and work your way through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract by explaining what happens to carbohydrates in the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine.  Include the contributions of the pancreas to carbohydrate digestion, and be specific about which molecules are absorbed.  For example, carbohydrates must be broken down into monosaccharides in order to be absorbed. Be sure and give the specific names of any enzymes involved in the digestion process.  For example, in the small intestine, not only is pancreatic amylase active, but so are sucrase, lactase, and maltase, which are made by the enterocytes.  Provide the names of the substrates and products of these enzymes.

Later Life Considerations

As more and more of the U.S. and world population ages into old age, it is becoming increasingly critical that societies have a better understanding of what works well and what perhaps does not work so well when considering eldercare. What types of living situations ensure happier and healthier elders? What factors in eldercare may impact working adults and loved ones? What’s the effect of varied living situations on societies and economies as a whole? Finally, what does the way a family or society treat elders say about that family or society in terms of values and belief systems? As you consider these questions, further think about how building your understanding of eldercare might help you not only in your professional work but also how it might impact you on a personal level as well.

For this Discussion, you will explore the advantages and disadvantages of eldercare living.

To Prepare

Consider the following:

Imagine you are middle-aged and belong to a family where your children are late adolescents. You have two teenage children and two very elderly parents. In some cultures, it is common for elders to live in an independent living community, retirement community, or assisted living communities. In other cultures, elders will come live with an adult child.

Post and describe at least one advantage and one disadvantage of each living arrangement (i.e., independent living, assisted living, and living with an adult child).
