Exposed Tissue Radio-sensitivity (5) Flashcards
1
Q
Factors that affect Radio-sensitivity are:
A
- Stage of cell division
- Cell activity
- Blood and food supply of the cell
2
Q
Stage of cell division
A
Immature cells (newly divided cells) are more affected
3
Q
Cell activity
A
More active calls are more vulnerable.
More chemical changes lower radiation resistance.
4
Q
Blood and food supply of the cell
A
Undernourished cells are less effected (they are less active)
5
Q
Most affected cells are:
A
Ones related to blood and blood-forming organs.
Damage to blood related cells change the making of blood causing major health effects.
6
Q
High Sensitivity Cells
A
- White Cells
- White Blood Cells
- Basal Cells
- Alveolar Cells
7
Q
Moderate Sensitivity Cells
A
- Bile Duct Cells
- Tubules + Kidney Cells
- Endothelial Cells
8
Q
Low/Radio-resistant Cells
A
- Connective Tissue
- Fat and Bone
- Nerves and Brain
