Answer 6

Relative bio effect of radiation type v group of speciallised cells

Question 7

Tissue weighting factor

Answer 7

Relative danger of radiation absorption in a particular tissue

Question 8

Higher effective dose v higher equivalent dose

Answer 8

High risk of illness in particular tissue v overall higher risk of illness somewhere in the body

Answer 11

For absorbed below 1 gy unlikely to experience short term effect for 1-3 immediate health risk like nausea and burn over 10 death is likely from 3.5 to 5 around 50 percent of people will survive

Question 12

General medical relation

Answer 12

Radiation can cause cancer as well as treat cancer internally and externally through damage of malignant (harmful) cells
