Question
Answer
Radiobiology   show
🗑
show *Cell structure *Cell composition *Cell function  
🗑
What are the attributes of ionizing radiations?   show
🗑
show *Linear Energy Transfer (LET) *Relative Biological Effectiveness (RBE) *Oxygen Enhancement Ratio (OER)  
🗑
Linear Energy Transfer (LET)   show
🗑
show Linear Energy Transfer (LET)  
🗑
x & gamma radiation, no charge, Sparsely ionizing and interacts randomly along it’s trak, & cause damage through Indirect Action is know as what type of LET?   show
🗑
show High LET  
🗑
show LET is inversely proportional to the square of the velocity and is directly proportional to the square of the charge  
🗑
What is the size of DNA?   show
🗑
show *e- represents Compton or Photoelectric effect in Diagnostic Beam *Alpha represents particles ejected from radioactive decay (Radon)  
🗑
show A term relating the ability of radiations with different LET's to produce a specific biologic response  
🗑
what is the formula for RBE?   show
🗑
Oxygen Enhancement Ratio (OER)   show
🗑
show oxygen  
🗑
show Oxygen is most effective when administered simultaneously with the radiation.  
🗑
show OER= Hypoxic/ Oxygenated  
🗑
show *Molecular *Cellular *Organic  
🗑
show The molecular level  
🗑
Direct Action   show
🗑
show Effects produced by reactive free radicals  
🗑
How are free radicals produced?   show
🗑
What are extremely reactive and can undergo a number of reactions?   show
🗑
show *Point Mutation *Radiation can rupture chemical bonds *Can sever Sugar Phosphate (Strand) chain  
🗑
show Single Strand Breaks  
🗑
show *Further exposure to radiation results in additional breaks on *Sugar Phosphate chain DSB on same chain are not easily repaired  
🗑
What break is common with High LET radiation & damage to Nitrogenous bases?   show
🗑
show High LET  
🗑
Damage is only seen at what phase of Mitosis?   show
🗑
What is the irreplaceable master molecule in cell?   show
🗑
show 1000Gy received secs to mins will disrupt the cell and cause death.  
🗑
show 1- 10Gy Cells does not die , but loses reproductive abilities  
🗑
Apoptosis   show
🗑
show Retards the mitotic process and adversely affects cellular division  
🗑
Mitotic Delay   show
🗑
show Cell irradiation during mitosis can lead to chromosomal breakage.  
🗑
show Relates sensitivity of a particular type of cell to ionizing radiation.  
🗑
show Radiation has a more damaging effect on cells that are: -Rapidly dividing -Have Long Mitotic Cycle -Immature stage in development Undifferentiated cells  
🗑
Most Sensitive   show
🗑
show S phase of cell cycle. *GI phase  
🗑
show Established that Radiosensitivity is a function of the metabolic state of cell while irradiating Germ cell studies  
🗑
show *Directly proportional to reproductive activity *Inversely proportional to degree of differentiation  
🗑
Hematologic Depression   show
🗑
show Irradiated Bone Marrow(BM) lead to depressed stem or precursor cells.  
🗑
Repopulation   show
🗑
show stems cells  
🗑
What is the Lethal Dose of radiation in animals?   show
🗑
show LD 50/60 *3-4 Gy  
🗑
Granulocytes   show
🗑
Thrombocytes (Platelets)   show
🗑
show *With Low LET radiation, a shoulder to the curve at lower doses indicates the cells ability to repair some damage at low doses. *High-LET radiation typically has no shoulder, indicating that little or no repair takes place.  
🗑
show *Implanted *Ingested *Injected *Inhaled  
🗑
What are the two types of Chromosomal Anomalies observed at metaphase?   show
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
