Tissue And Organ Response To Radiation And Gentic Effects Of Radiation Flashcards
For diagnosis which ray is used
Gamma ray
For treatment which ray is used
Beta-ray
2 actions of ionizing radiation on cells
Direct
Indirect
Direct action
Interaction of radiation with a critical molecule necessary for the survival of the cell
DNA,enzyme
Indirect action
Radiation effects occur through some nonessential molecules
Usually water
Free radicals as an end product
More prominent then direct action
Free radicals causes
Biological damage
Which cells are the most radiosensitive
Precursor cells of hematopoietic system
GI tract
Gonads
Lymphocytes
Erythroblast
Intestinal epi
Germ cells
Relation of differentiation of cells and radiosensitivity
Degree of differentiation of cells is inversely related to the radiosensitivity
In which phases cell is more radiosensitive
M
G2
In which phases cell is more resistant to radiation
G1
S
Less radiosensitive cells
Dermal epi
Endothelium
Salivary glands
Growing bone and cartilage
Least radiosensitive cells
Kidney cells
Liver
Mature bone and cartilage
Muscle and nervous system
Which organs are the most sensitive organs to radiation induced cancer
Active bone marrow
Breast
Thyroid
Lungs
Risks of inutero exposure
In the preimplantation stage radiation exposure ALL OR NONE effect
Organogenesis is the most critical period for radiation induced congenital malformations
Fetus is more radio resistant beyon the organogenesis
2 types of Dose-Effect curves for radiation exposure
Nonstochastic effect
Stochastic effect
