Abstract

The research was aimed to find out a profile of an anatomical structure of the Rattus norvegicus skin after exposed to X-ray radiation. Research was performed by treating the 20 Rattus norvegicus at the age of 1.5 months. The weight rats were weighed approximately 100 ± 13 g grouped into four treatments with different dose of X-ray radiation. The four treatments were 0 mgy (control), 50 mgy, 100 mgy, and 150 mgy X-ray radiation. The variable in this research was a dose of X-ray radiation and the anatomical structure of the rattus norvegicus skin. The data obtained were analyzed with qualitative description. The research results after exposure of X-ray radiation for 5-days showed that there was no damage on the skin macroanatomy. Whereas, the observation in the skin microanatomy showed that there was a damage, e.g. thinning of the epidermis, cell picnosys, cell injury, and hemoragic. The result indicated that the different dose of X-ray radiation affected the skin anatomy structure. The X-ray radiation exposure at 100 mGy on skin microanatomy were caused a thinning of the epidermis in stratum corneum layer, picnosys on the nucleus, cell injury and hemoragic.
