Radiosensitivity

Radiosensitivity is the sensitivity of the body, its organs, tissues and cells to the action of ionizing radiation, which can cause various damage and disturbances in the functioning of the body.

Radiosensitivity depends on many factors, such as radiation dose, type of radiation, exposure time, body health, etc. Depending on these factors, the body may react differently to radiation exposure. For example, some tissues and organs may be more sensitive to radiation than others.

To protect against radiation, it is necessary to use special protective equipment, such as protective suits, goggles, masks, gloves, etc., and also avoid prolonged stay in a place where there may be a high dose of radiation. In addition, it is necessary to monitor your health and consult a doctor if symptoms of radiation damage appear.

Radiosensitivity is a change in the state or performance of cellular systems, tissues, organs and the body as a whole, which occurs under the influence of ionizing radiation (irradiation). Radiosensitivity is characterized by a gradual increase in the mortality of experimental animals with the development of radiation injuries. In other words, plants and animals acquire the ability not to influence the absorbed radiation dose. Over time, the degree of radioresistance increases, and an inverse relationship between radioresistance and exposure time is observed. This is an indicator of the high radiosensitivity of tissues. Performance is affected by the dose of absorbed radiation. At a certain dose, vital activity stops. The received dose can be equated to the power R, it is proportional to the product of the absorbed dose H and the effective exposure time τ:R=Н•τ The effectiveness of the dose is determined by the derivative
