(P) Week 4: WBC Functions and Kinetics Part 2 Flashcards
What is the objective of the respiratory burst
form a reactive oxygen species (ROS) or singlet oxygen
NADPH oxidase will react with ___________ to allow the transfer of one electron to oxygen to create a singlet oxygen
NADPH substate
this is a superoxide free radical that is the byproduct of a biochemical reaction between NADPH oxidase and NADPH substrate
singlet oxygen
the superoxide free radical / singlet oxygen will be acted upon by either _____________ or ____________
superoxide dismutase (SOD)
myeloperoxidase (MPO)
What is the product of the reaction between the singlet oxygen and superoxide dismutase / myeloperoxidase
hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)
In the fenton reaction, H2O2 + Fe^3+ will be catabolized into?
hydroxyl compounds
In the halide reaction, H2O2 + Cl^- will be converted to ____________ with the action of myeloperoxidase.
Hypochlorous acid
other name for fenton reacton
Weiss reaction
H2O2 is toxic to human cells, which enzymes do WBCs use to convert it to a non toxic substance
catalase enzyme (that forms water and oxygen)
Glutathione oxidase
what pathway does the WBC use to convert H2O2 to a nontoxic substance?
pentose phosphate pathway
Singlet oxygen reacts with nitrous oxide to form?
peroxynitrite anion
Large organism such as parasitic larva or helminths that cannot be totally engulfed by
neutrophils are destroyed by the
eosinophil
NADPH is produced by the
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase
How can nitrous oxide multiply in our blood?
by exposing our skin to the sunlight
what do people with chronic granulomatous disease lack?
NADPH oxidase
this byproduct of the oxidative burst may leak outside of our cells and form pus
hydrogen peroxide
what is the composition of pus
WBC and cellular debris
Cytoplasmic contents of the granulocytes and
monocytes
Nitric oxide
antibiotic proteins
azurophilic granules (peroxidase, lysozyme, acid hydrolase)
specific granules (lactoferrin and lysozyme)
tertiary granules (alkaline phosphatase)
neutrophil
Cytoplasmic contents of the granulocytes and
monocytes
major basic protein
arysulfatase
histaminase
eosinophil
Cytoplasmic contents of the granulocytes and
monocytes
histamine
prostaglandin
thromboxane
leukotrines
heparin
eosinophil chemotactic factor
basophil
Cytoplasmic contents of the granulocytes and
monocytes
hydrologic enzymes
reactive oxygen
metabolites (hydrogen peroxide, singlet oxygen, and hydroxyl radicals)
monocyte
source of iron for the fenton reaction, may cause anemia if this substance is always present
lactoferrin
this WBC is highly effective in killing worms by ingesting its integumentary system
eosinophil
this substance is released due to excessive eosinophil action
