What else can I help you with?
Cancer and related diseases are caused due to primary radiation or secondary radiation or non ionization radiation or ionization radiation?
Cancers are caused by uncontrolled growth of tissue. Most commonly caused by environmental chemicals. Or fine fibres such as Asbestos or very fine glass. Ionizing radiation can cause cancers IF the damage it does then goes on to produce an unwanted growth of tissue.
What are two examples of somatic radiation damage?
Examples of somatic radiation damage include skin burns and cataracts caused by exposure to ionizing radiation.
What is radiation dermmatitis?
Irritation or damage to the skin caused by radiation exposure: two examples are sun burn and beta burns.
What type of heat transfer occurs when you get a sunburn?
RadiationNot really. Sunburn is not caused by heat at all, but by overexposure to ultra-violet (specifically UV-B) radiation. It causes damage directly to the DNA rather than heat damage to the skin.While the answer 'radiation' is technically correct as UV is a type of radiation, sunburn is not caused by heat transfer at all.
Is sunburn one word or two?
"Sunburn" is one word. It refers to the skin damage caused by excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. The term combines "sun" and "burn" to describe this specific condition.
Radiation burns can be caused by high doses of what form of ionizing radiation?
Radiation burns can be caused by exposure to ionizing radiation such as X-rays, gamma rays, or high-energy particles. These types of radiation have enough energy to remove electrons from atoms, leading to tissue damage and burns in the affected area.
How is radiation spread?
yes... EX) the explosion from the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki wasn't the only thing that caused damage, radiation spread to surrounding areas and caused transmutations in people which can lead to cancer, etc.
What is the main cause for sunburns?
Sunburn is caused by UV-radiation from the sun which creates direct DNA damage.
Radiation burns which cause delayed irreversible changes of the skin can be caused by high dozes of what form of ionizing radiation?
High doses of ionizing radiation, such as gamma rays or X-rays, can cause radiation burns that lead to delayed irreversible changes in the skin. These burns result from the damage to skin cells and tissues caused by the ionizing radiation.
Examples of teratogens?
A teratogen is a factor that causes malformation of an embryo. Examples of this can be damage caused by drugs, viruses, chemicals, and malnutrition.
What causes damage to lymphatic vessels caused by cancer treatment surgery radiation scarring injuries or burns?
secondary lymphedema
Which of the following cell types are least sensitive to ionizing radiation damage?
Red blood cells are the least sensitive to ionizing radiation damage because they lack a nucleus and are unable to repair DNA damage caused by radiation exposure. This also makes them unable to undergo cell division or replication.
