Do not divide constantly
Immature ova are extremely radiosensitive
Exposure can also cause female sterility
2 Gyt causes temporary sterility
5 Gyt causes permanent sterility

# data[].attributes.body
Radiosensitive
Divide rapidly
2Gyt can cause temporary sterility for up to 12 months
5-6 Gyt can cause permanent sterility
0.1 Gyt can cause future genetic mutations

# data[].attributes.body
More radiosensitive than adult
0.1 - sV fetal EqD gives a 4 percent chance of disability

Don't divide.
If nucleus is destroyed, the cell dies and isn't restored.
50 Gyt of ionizing radiation can result in death from hours to days.

2 mm a day in small nerves, 5 mm a day in large nerves to recover

# data[].attributes.body
Muscle tissue cells are highly specialized and don't divide, making them insensitive to radiation
radioresistant
highly specialized

# data[].attributes.body
Lines and covers body tissue

Regenerates  though mitosis

Cells that comprise epithelial tissue are highly radiosensitive because the body constantly regenerates the tissue

10 days to recover

Highly radiosensitive
Renews 50 percent each day

- Hematologic Depression
- Depletion of Immature Blood Cells
- Repopulation After a Period of Recovery
- Whole-Body Doses in Excess of 5 Gyt can result in death
- Depressed lymphocytes which can cause infection, slow to recover, effects directly
0.25 Gy dose depresses numbers
0.5-1.0 Gy dose blood count drops to 0
- Depleted thrombocytes cause wound clotting
- Thrombocytes and Neutrophils have slow recovery
0.5 Gy dose decreases numbers
1-10 Gy minimum two months for recovery to begin
- Erythrocytes are least sensitive and last 120 days. Depletion is not apparent for weeks and recovery takes months

# data[].attributes.body
- Embryos, fetuses, infants, children, and adolescents are more sensitive because the nonspecialized, immature cells they contain are more susceptible to radiation damage
