Question

What are the biological, microscopic, and macroscopic effects of acute, high-dosage, ionizing radiation exposure on the human body? Describe what occurs within the cells. Which cell types are most affected by acute radiation exposure? What are the macroscopic effects of damage to these cells? Be as detailed as possible in your answer.

00:02 Hello students, ionizing radiation directly affects dna structure by inducing dna break particularly double -stranded break.
00:10 Secondary effects are the generation of reactive oxygen species that oxidize proteins and lipids and also induce several damage to dna.
00:20 Another effect of ionizing radiation is that it will denature proteins, disrupt their function and structure.
00:30 These ionizing radiation suffer both reversible and irreversible effects.
00:37 Next, ionizing radiations also has their effect on cell membrane as ionizing radiation generate ros...
