Tissue response to radiation

Question 1

How does functional and structural damage occur

Answer 1

When stem cells are unable to regenerate after radiation

Question 2

is damage shown in organs at the same time after irradiation

Answer 2

no, different tissues have different sensitivities, for example, damage is seen within the intestine within a week, whereas damage is seen in the lung within 3 months

Question 3

Effects of radiation that appear at a whole body level

Answer 3

from a result of damage to
cells to tissues to organs to systems

Question 4

what is necessary for radiation damage to be expressed

Answer 4

cell division

Question 5

what does the time that the injury is expressed in an organ depends on

Answer 5

the turnover time of the critical target cells, not only when they divide but how often

Question 6

What is a critical target cell

Answer 6

these are cells that can divide and regenerate after radiation, these are stem cells
