Term
What are the three major parts to cell structure
Definition
1 Cell membrane 2 Cytoplasm 3 Nuclues
Term
Cell Membrane
Definition
Only 100 Angstrom units, It helps regulate the concentration of water, salts, and organic matter which form the interior environment of the cell
Term
Cytoplasm
Definition
Jelly like substance in which the nucleus is suspended, it is encased within the cell membrane. this material is an aqueous solution of soluble proteins and salts which constitutes the interior environment of the cell
Term
Mitochondria
Definition
Power plants, the oxygen is used for the oxidation of essential foodstuffs and the formation of carbon dioxide. ATP ( Adenosine Triphosphate) this molecule supplies the energy for all the activities of the cell, including reproduction and repair
Term
Lysosomes
Definition
Contain the digestive enzymes that break down mouecules, such as those of fats, proteins, and nucleic acids
Term
Nucleus
Definition
Each cells contians a small usually oval body know as the ---- is an important center of the cell,
Term
Absorbed does to rupture the cell membrane
Definition
3000-5000 rads ( 30-50 gray)
Term
It requires a few thousand rad to disrupt their function.
Definition
Mitcohondria
Term
Lysosomes will be ruptured at dose levels between
Definition
500 and 1000 rads ( 5-10 gray)
Term
Most sensitive part of the cell
Definition
Nucleus
Term
Law or Bergonie and Tribondeau
Definition
The radio sensitivity of a tissue is directly proportional to is reproductive capacity and inversely proportional to its degree of differentiation
Term
Radiosensitive
Definition
1 Germinal ( reproductive)
2 Hematopoietic ( bloodforming)
3 Basal cells of the skin
4 Epithelium of the gastrointestinal tract
Term
Radioresistant
Definition
1. Bone
2. Liver
3. Kidney
4. Cartilage
5. Muscle
6 Nervous tissue
Term
Stochastic Effects
Definition
Those in which the probability within a population of the effect occurring increases with dose, without threshold
Term
Determinsitic
Definition
Non-stochatic, effects are those in which the severity of the effect varies with the dose. For these types of effects a threshold does exits
Term
LD 50/30
Definition
Defined as the dose of radiation expected to cause death (Lethal Dose) within 30 days to 50% of those exposed, without medical treatment. 300 to 500 rads (3-5 gray) usually stated as 450 rad (4.5 gray)
Term
ALARA
Definition
as low as reasonably achievable
Term
Chronic Radiation
Definition
exposure effects involve a low dose over a relatively long period of time ( weeks to years)
Term
Cataracts
Definition
Lens of the eye is highly susceptible to irreversible damage by radiation. Exposures as small as 600 to 900 R may produce a cataract, although the symptoms and signs may not apparent for years after the exposure
Term
An extension of life and a lower incidence of cancer has been seen in rodents exposed to lower doses
Definition
100 to 400 rads 1-4 gray over a lifetime
Term
Acute Effects
Definition
Effects that occur within 1-2 months of the exposure. Normally acute effects are only observed if the dose is greater than 10 rads (0.1 gray) and delivered over a short time
Term
Hormesis
Definition
Radiation that is good for you
Term
Heamatopietic Syndrome
Definition
acute whole body doeses 200 to 1000 rads. blood forming
Term
Gastointertinal tract syndrome
Definition
acute whole body exposures from 1000 to 5000 rads. Survival is impossible. Death occurs from 1 to 3 days
Term
Central Nervous System (CNS) Syndrome
Definition
aucte whole body exposures above 5000 rads. Survival is impossible Results in respiratory failure and or brain edema ( swelling of the brain) Death within 30 Hours
Term
When a female is pregnant what does there dose reduce to
Definition
< or = to 500 millirem
Term
Somatic Effects happen where
Definition
Effects happen in you, such as skin redding, hair loss, and vomiting
Term
Double Dose
Definition
is estimated to be greater than 100 rem ( 1 Sievert) per generation. The dose of radiation which will double the natural mutation rate in man
