Biological roles of reactive species.

Neurological	Cardiovascular	Immune response	Cell biology
Mediation of learning and memory; Involved in the regulation of striatal dopamine release via glutamate	Regulation of cardiac contractility; Regulation of vascular tone (e.g., penile erection) via NO production; Signalling involving carotid bodies (monitor arterial oxygen levels)	Response to foreign pathogens (oxidative burst); Production of cytokines; Wound repair	Embryogenesis; Prevent overpopulation of cells and destroys malfunctioning cells; Cellular differentiation
