What are the biological effects of exposure to Beta Radiation?

Please tell me if the affects to the human body from exposure to Beta radiation is the same as Alpha or Gamma radiation. If it is not, then please describe the effects of Beta radiation.What are the biological effects of exposure to Beta Radiation?
The biological damage of all radiation is more or less proportional to the amount of energy absorbed per unit volume. but the amount absorbed along the path of the particle depends on the type and energy of the radiation For a given energy electrons deposit energy over a longer distance than alpha particles, but over a shorter distance than gamma rays.What are the biological effects of exposure to Beta Radiation?
death, terrible, horrible death.
