small intestines | | highly radiosensitive; undergoes mitosis frequently |
reproductive system | | has been shown to be a direct correlation of irradiation |
chromosomes | | Highly radioresistant to radiation; impulses are made |
High LET | | highly radiosensitive to radiation |
Somatic Effects | | committee on biological effects |
Prodromal | | "early" effects and "later" effects |
Skin | | effects 2n cells |
hematopoietic system | | decays to a free radical species |
indirect effect | | compartment of DNA information and is subcellular |
BEIR | | radiation doses divided over a period of time |
CNS | | highly radiosensitive and appears after the stomach |
undifferentiated cells | | involves high LET radiation |
direct effect | | highy radiosensitive to radiation and involves the gonads |
early aging | | alpha is an example; low penetrating capabilities, but has high Specific Ionization |
