hematologic effect

    0.01 sec.
hematologic effect,
the response of blood cells to radiation exposure. All types of blood cells are destroyed by radiation, and the degree of cell depletion increases with increasing dose. Lymphocytes are affected first and are reduced in number within minutes or hours after exposure. Erythrocytes are less sensitive than other types of blood cells and may not show radiation effects for several weeks.
