Q

lethal dose for humans when medicated

A

LD 50/60 may be more accurate for humans

50
Q

when there is more oxygen is it easier or harder to repair

A

easier

51
Q

Because cells contain a repair mechanism inherent in their biochemistry (repair enzymes), repair and recover can occur when cells are exposed to sublethal doses of ionizing radiation.
After this level of irradiation, surviving cells will be able to divide and thereby begin to repopulate in the irradiated organ.
This process permits an organ that has sustained functional damage as a result of radiation exposure to regain some or most of its useful ability

A

repair and recovery

52
Q

how much radiation induced damage will be irreparable

A

10 percent

53
Q

how much radiation induced damage will be repaired over time

A

remaining 90 percent

54
Q

what type effect does repeated injuries have

A

culmultive effect

55
Q

In the repair of sublethal damage, cells that are oxygenated, which as a result receive more nutrients, have a better prospect for recovery than do hypoxic, or poorly oxygenated, cells that consequently receive fewer nutrients.

A

repair and recovery

56
Q

consequence to atrophy

A

Organs and tissues sustaining such damage may lose their ability to function, or they may recover

57
Q

A destructive response in biologic tissue can occur when any part of the human body receives a high radiation dose.
Significant cell death usually results after such a substantial partial-body exposure. This leads to atrophy of organs and tissues.

A

local tissue damage
