Question 1: Direct Effects Caused by what? Describe point of origin.
Answer:
Caused by direct ionization along charge particle tracks. Original ionization occurs directly on target molecule.Question 2: Explain the purpose of Genes:
Answer:
Genetic material responsible for cytoplasmic activity and delivering hereditary information.Question 3: Define Radiosensitivity:
Answer:
The amount of reaction of a cell to radiation.
Question 4: What stage of mitosis is considered the most radiosensitive?
Answer:
Mitosis and the passage from late G1 into early S-phase are the phases considered most radiosensitive.
Question 5: Describe the function and components of Lysosomes:
Answer:
Single membrane bodies that contain digestive enzymes that digest protein molecules. They also assist in digesting old cell parts, dead cell parts, bacteria, and foreign materials.Question 6: Explain the purpose of Chromosomes:
Answer:
Gene carriers.
Question 7: Meiosis takes place in what kind of cells?
Answer:
takes place within gamete cells (sex cells).
Question 8: List the last 2 laws of Bergonie and Tribondeau.
Answer:
~The Higher metabolic cell activity, the more radiosensitive it is.~The greater growth rate for tissues, the greater the radiosensitivity.
~The greater growth rate for tissues,greater the radiosensitivity.Question 9: linear, nonthreshold:
Answer:
An observed response is directly proportional to the dose, assuming any radiation dose produces an effect.Question 10: Define Somatic cells:
Answer:
Non-reproductive cells.Question 11: Protraction:
Answer:
Is the time during which a course of radiation is administered over a longer period of time.
Question 12: ID the SI units for the traditional unit: Roentgen (R):
Answer:
SI Unit: coulomb/kilogram
Question 13: Explain the concept of "oxygen enhancement ratio(OER):
Answer:
The response of biologic tissue to radiation is great when irradiated in the aerobic state, than in anoxic state. This concept is expressed numerically by the OER.Question 14: Describe G1:
Answer:
Cells in this phase are performing the physiological needs to maintain cell homeostasis. The cell is not yet undergoing visible phases of mitosis.Question 15: Describe M:
Answer:
Cell division of mitosis begins.
Question 16: List the first 2 laws of Bergonie and Tribondeau.
Answer:
~Stem or immature cells are most sensitive compared to mature cells.~Younger tissues and organs are more sensitive than older tissues/organs.Question 17: Define: Mutagenesis
Answer:
The causing of genetic mutation by radiation.Question 18: Explain the formula used to calculate the OER:
Answer:
The Ratio is the dose that produces a given biologic response under anoxic conditions divided by the dose that produces the same biologic response under aerobic conditions Question 19: Define Erythema dose:
Answer:
Reddening of the skin.
Question 20: State the location of both the following:
DNA:
RNA:
Answer:
DNA: Nucleus.
RNA: Ribosomes of the nucleolus.
Question 21: Describe the function and components of organelles:
Answer:
Helps with cell functions.Includes the centrioles, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, golgi apparatus, lysosomes and the nucleus.Question 22: Describe G2:
Answer:
Growth and preparation for mitosis.Question 23: Give examples of cells that are highly radiosensitive:
Answer:
Lymphocytes, spermatogonia, erythroblasts, intestinal crypt cells.Question 24: Describe the function and components of Nucleolus:
Answer:
Each nucleus contains atleast one of these structures that contains ribosomes.Question 25: What kind of rays produce few interactions bc of their rapid moving electrons are regarded as low LET radiation?
Answer:
X- and gamma rays.Question 26: Indirect Effect:
Answer:
A cell interaction that occurs if the initial ionizing incident takes place on a distant noncritical molecule then transfers the ionization of energy to another molecule.
