What else can I help you with?
what cells types are least sensitive to ionizing radiation damage?
Cells that do not have a nucleus
What is retinal cancer?
Retinal cancer is a cancer that arises in the cells of the retina. The retina is the layer of cells in the back of the eye where light is converted to nerve impulses.
What makes one feel the heat of a candle?
radiation and convection and nerve cells in the skin
What are the ill effects of radiation exposure?
High doses of radiation exposure lead to higher chances of having cancer later in life. A dose of 100 rems will cause some initial signs of radiation sickness, such as loss of white blood cells, nausea, vomiting, and headache. Some loss of hair may occur, and nerve cells and those that line the digestive tract will be damaged.
What eye functions do not work when you are blind?
either the light sensitive cells in the retina are not working or the optical nerve is damaged
Which type of tissue is least likely to generate cancer since the mature cells are amitotic?
nerve tissue
Which type of tissue is lest likely to generate cancer since the mature cells are amitotic?
Nerve tissue
What is the difference between nerve cells and nerve?
a nerve tends to refer to a group of nerve cells.
What is a connector nerve?
Connector nerve cells connect the sensory nerve cells with motor nerve cells and allow for decision making.
What cranial nerve that regulates most of the internal thoracic and abdominal organs?
X, Number 10- the Vagus Nerve is the one that is connected with abdominal organs."The vagus nerve (n. vagus) (X pair) is mixed. Its motor fibers from the cells start motor nucleus, and sensitive - sensitive ganglion cells from occurring in the jugular orifice. From the brain of the vagus nerve goes behind the olive tree, and the skull - through the jugular hole and is divided into many branches, bound to the organs of the head, neck, chest and abdominal cavities.

What are two kinds of nerve cells in the retina called?
The retina has two types of light-sensitive nerve cells. They are called rods and cones. Cones are more sensitive, so they can respond to lower light levels (and there are more of them). However, the rods are responsible for color vision. They come in three different varieties, each sensitive to different wavelengths (colors) of light. Since the rods are represented more heavily in the center of the visual field, we have little color vision on the periphery.
What type of nerve is the optic nerve?
ganglion cells
