Copyright Cengage Learning. Powered by Cognero. Page 27
Chapter 07

ANSWER: Fat cell development: excess energy is stored in fat cells and obesity results when a
person’s fat cells increase in number, size, or both. After fat cells reach their maximum
size, more fat cells can develop to store more fat; however, these newly developed fat cells
will not be lost with weight loss, only shrunk. Set-point theory: proposes that the body
physiologically regulates body weight as it does body temperature. The body chooses a
preferred body weight and strives to maintain it by regulating eating behaviors and
hormone actions.

ANSWER: Surgical weight loss can be the most effective method for those who are at critical risk of
death due to obesity-related conditions. Surgeries limit food intake by reducing the
capacity of the stomach and suppress hunger by altering production of GI hormones.
Nearly 50% of excess weight remains off 15 years after surgery. Complications with
surgical weight loss include infections, nausea, vomiting, dehydration, vitamin/mineral
deficiencies, and psychological problems.
