Question
Answer
Nitric oxide is one of the free radicals released to destroy:   Invaders during respiratory burst  
Defensins are antibiotic (bleach like) chemicals:   Released by neutrophils during attack  
Phagocytes may be unsuccessful if A:   Bacterial capsule or other such structure is present to prevent attachment by phagocyte  
no attachment means   no possibility of phagocytosis  
OPSONIZATION occurs when the complement proteins/antibodies coat the:   Pathogens surface-thereby providing phagocyte-binding sites  
After OPSONIZATION occurs the antibodies are called:   OPSONINS  
Types of phagocytes:   macrophages, neutrophils, eosinophils  
The chief phagocyte is:   Macrophage, formerly a monocyte  
Macrophage is AKA: 3   RETICULO-ENDOTHIAL, HISTIOCYTE OR Monocyte/macrophage system  
Macrophage is derived from:   monocytes that leave BV's & enter tissues  
After monocytes leave BV's and become Macrophages they:   Enlarge & increase lysosome component  
What phagocyte is a good survivor?   macrophage  
Macrophages do not release toxic chemicals but:   rely on intracellular destruction of pathogens  
Macrophages secrete chemical mediators called:   MONOKINES  
INTERLEUKIN-1 is a specific:   MONOKINE  
MONOKINES come from a class of:   soluble glycoproteins called CYTOKINES  
INTERLEUKIN-1 co-stimulates:   bound T-cells to release INTERLEUKIN-2  
The job of INTERLEUKIN-2 is to create a:   pos. feedback cycle to proliferate active T-cells  
FREE (MOTIVE) MACROPHAGES:   wonder tissue spaces; ie:dust cells that patrol lungs  
FIXED MACROPHAGES:   stay in 1 place; ie:Kupffer cells of liver or microglia of CNS  
Macrophages of lungs & lymph nodes develop from:   monocytes formed in bone marrow  
Macrophages engulf foreign particles &:   Display them on thier cell membrane surface  
Macrophages display info about foreign particles so that:   T-cells can learn the identity of invader AND B-cells can approach them and copy the shape of the invader  
B-cells use shape of invader infomation to:   start a recipe for antibody production  
Neutrophil (MICROcrophages) become:   phagocytes when they encounter pathogens  
Neutrophils usually destroy themself in the process of defense due to:   types of chemicals they produce & release (bleach-like stuff, oxidizers, etc...)  
Eosinophils are critical in defense against:   parasitic worms;  
Eosinophils attack worms by:   pressing against them & firing the contents of lysosomes at them  
The weakest phagocyte is the :   eosinophils (microphage) Note: MI not MA  
Phagocytosis is a form of:   active transport  
Phagocytosis requires the use of:   enzymes, AND other forms of cellular energy (ATP)  
Engulfment of pathogens on a grand scale is called:   phagocytosis
