Radiobiology
Study of the effects of ionizing radiation on living tissue
Genetic
Type of cell that includes reproductive cells
Indirect
A theory of radiation injury that suggest x-rays are absorbed and form toxins which damage the cell
Critical organ
If damaged diminishes the quality of a persons life
Latent
A period of time that elapses between exposure to ionizing radiation and appearance of observable clinical signs
Free radical
Unchanged atom or molecule with a single unpaired electron in it’s outermost shell
Radio sensitive
Cell that is sensitive to radiation
Background
A type of ionizing radiation that is ubiquitous in the environment
Risk
the likelihood of adverse effects or death resulting from exposure to a hazard
Direct
A theory of injury thst suggests damage results when ionizing radiation directly hits critical areas within the cell
Somatic
Type of cell that includes all cells in the body except reproductive cells
Short term
Radiation effects that follow the latent period and are seen within minutes, days and weeks.
Radio resistant
Cell that is resistant to radiation
Long term
Radiation effects that follow the latent period and are seen years or generations later.
