Extracellular hyaline change
hyalinized walls of arterioles
the shorter the wavelength the higher the
frequency
the shorter the frequency, the _______ of the photon energy
greater
the shorter the wavelength, the ______ the ability to produce biological effects
greater
the difference between non-ionizing and ionizing radiation is the
individual packet of energy not the total energy involved
UV, when absorbed, can result in excitation of molecules and dimer formation
non-ionizing radiation
size of photon energy large enough to eject one or more orbital electrons .
break the bond
ionizing
X-ray, gamma-ray
ionizing
radiation interact with other atoms or molecules to produce free radicals which in turn damage the critical targets . dominant effect of X-and gamma ray
indirect action
readiation absorbed and interact directly with critical targets in the cell. Dominant effect of particulate radiation such as neutrons or alpha particles
direct action
damage causes gene mutation which is passed on for generations as
heritable mutations
more effective cell killing with multiple doses- fractionation
oxygen effect
Cells that are the most sensitive
cells in M phase
cells that are the most resistant
cells in late S phase
delayed effects of radiation
fibrosis
common and critical target
DNA damage
non-ionizing radiation which can cause significant cell/tissue damage
UV light
pyrimidine dimer results from
UV absorption and excitation of molecules
new wave of cell death that results in greater tissue damage
