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...

Can radiation cure diseases?
not really, it depends on the level of exposure, some parts of the body are more sensitive to radiation than other parts, for example the thyroid, which can be protected by taking potassium iodide
Which body of water is more sensitive to the effects of fertilizer runoff?
The body of water that is more sensitive to the effects of fertilizer are those with stagnant water. An example of this body of water is a pond.
Are cancer cells more sensitive to drugs and radiation than normal cells?
Yes, cancer cells are generally more sensitive to drugs and radiation than normal cells. This is because cancer cells have abnormal and uncontrolled growth, and their DNA repair mechanisms may be impaired. Therefore, therapies like chemotherapy and radiation therapy can target the rapidly dividing cancer cells and effectively kill them while minimizing damage to healthy cells.
Gamma radiation is it safe to inject into a human but alpha particles would be very dangerous?
Generally no radiation is safe. You cannot "inject" radiation into anything because it is the product of various unstable nuclei decaying. Alpha radiation is much more ionising than gamma, but much less penetrating than it. That makes it more dangerous if it is inside your body; it can be stopped by skin. Therefore you would have to swallow a sample of a radioactive material. However, gamma radiation is always emitted together with alpha or beta radiation.
Compared to visible light ultraviolet radiation is more harmful to human skin and eyes because ultraviolet radiation has a?
higher frequency... resonance with DNA
Why the human body more sensitive to hot water then cold water?
because we are warm blooded.
Who is more sensitive to radiation male or female?
Men
Are cells that divide rapidly more sensitive to radiation?
No, they are just as sensitive as any other cell.
Some body organs are more sensitive to radiation than others?
are u saying that your lung might survive a nuclear blast that your liver might not?
How much radiation is needed to go through body?
Hardly any at all. New advances in technology enable the film to be more sensitive to radiation. A chest xray has less radiation than walking to your car in the parking lot in summer.
Cell types are most sensitive to radiation damage?
Cells that are actively dividing are most sensitive to radiation damage.
Can radiation cure diseases?
not really, it depends on the level of exposure, some parts of the body are more sensitive to radiation than other parts, for example the thyroid, which can be protected by taking potassium iodide
Who emits more radiation a white body or a black body?
Good absorbers of radiation are also effective emitters. Thus, a black body, which more readily absorbs infrared radiation also emits it more readily.
Which body of water is more sensitive to the effects of fertilizer runoff?
The body of water that is more sensitive to the effects of fertilizer are those with stagnant water. An example of this body of water is a pond.
A human eye has more of what cells?
light sensitive cells
Where is a chart of the pressure points on the human body?
There are 365 pressure points on the human body and 365 accupressure points
How the human skin adapted to its function?
Skin is specialized to be more sensitive in some parts of the body and less sensitive in others. This is mainly because to alert a person of any dangers. The Skin on the extremities of the body like the finger tips is ultra sensitive so that it alerts a person when he touches something very hot or cold. Whereas skin on other parts of the body like the arms or the chest is not so sensitive.
