What cell types are most sensitive to radiation damage?
The ones with the shortest (normal) lifespans - like skin & the lining of the gut.
What part of your body is least sensitive to radiation?
Science has proved that the nervous system is the least sensitive to radiation. Blood forming organs like marrow are the most sensitive.
Which type of radiation can cause the most damage to the cells in the body?
The strongest type of radiation of course.
How does radiation kill a man?
Additional info (Razor512): radioactive particles damage internal structures of cells, while in most cases the cell will just die, but if radiation hits a cell while it is dividing then it will damage the genetic info in the cell and you can either end up with a non functioning cell which dies, or a cancer cell that does the wrong thing and makes you very sick. If you look at cases such as the Chernobyl disaster, you will see cases of people having their skin fall off due to the damage caused by radioactive particles. radiation destroys pretty much any type of biological cell and enough of it will dissolve skin and bone (and a high enough output can even eat away at metal).
What part of the body is most sensitive to radiation?
It all depends on the organs. Those cells, tissues and organs, where theres lots of division are most sensitive to the harmful effects of radiation at high levels of exposure, including the skin, the gut mucosa, hair follicles and so forth...
Cell types are most sensitive to radiation damage?
Cells that are actively dividing are most sensitive to radiation damage.

Why does electromagnetic radiation cause cellular damage to humans?
The most common exposure to electromagnetic radiation is from the use of cell phones. It is a minor almost minute exposure. Why it can damage the cell structure of humans is because it is toxic it is simply because it is radiation.
Which cells of the body are most susceptible to radiation damage?
thyroid gland is one of the most sensitive organs..
