What radiation type has the greatest ability to penetrate human tissue?
Gamma radiation. Alpha radiation is the least penetrating, beta radiation penetrates and lasts longer than alpha but also "dies out" relatively quickly, but Gamma radiation will not only penetrate deep, but it will also stay long.
What parts of the body are less radio-sensitive?
Parts of the body that are less radio-sensitive include muscle tissue and bone, as they generally have lower cell turnover rates compared to more sensitive tissues like blood-forming organs, skin, and reproductive organs. Additionally, mature, differentiated cells are typically less susceptible to radiation damage than rapidly dividing cells. Overall, tissues with slower growth and repair mechanisms are better at withstanding radiation exposure.
Are cancer cells more sensitive to drugs and radiation than normal cells?
Yes they are, because they have a lower resistance upon germs (germs in the sense: things that does not belong to your body, not particularly bacteria, so also radiation), so radiation and drugs have a easier time coming in them than in other cells.
Is radiation more harmful to normal cells than to cancerous cells?
Radiation can harm both normal and cancerous cells, but because cancerous cells are often more sensitive to radiation, they may be more likely to be damaged or killed by radiation therapy. Normal cells can repair themselves more effectively than cancerous cells, which helps protect them from the effects of radiation.
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.
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.
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...
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.
What two factors determine the severity of the effects of radiation?
The factors that determine the severity of the effects of radiation are the dose of radiation received and the type of radiation exposure. Higher doses of radiation and exposure to certain types of radiation, such as ionizing radiation, can lead to more severe effects on the human body.
Are rods more sensitive to light than cones in the human eye?
Yes, rods are more sensitive to light than cones in the human eye.
What cell type is most sensitive to radiation damage?
Cells that are actively dividing, such as those in the bone marrow and gastrointestinal tract, are most sensitive to radiation damage because they are constantly replicating and thus more susceptible to the effects of radiation.
Are children more sensitive to radiation?
Children are generally more sensitive to radiation than adults because their cells are dividing and growing at a faster rate, making them more vulnerable to damage. Additionally, children have smaller bodies and organs, which tend to absorb more radiation compared to adults. It is important to limit children's exposure to radiation to reduce the risk of long-term health effects.
Who emits more radiation a white body or a black body?
A black body emits more radiation than a white body. A black body absorbs all radiation that falls on it and re-emits it as thermal radiation, making it an ideal emitter. On the other hand, a white body reflects most radiation and thus emits less overall.
