Electricity produced by biological species (for instance, human beings as well as much simple systems).

∙ 16y ago
Bioelectricity is a natural electrical current produced by living organisms, including humans, plants, and animals. It plays a crucial role in many biological processes, such as nerve signaling and muscle contractions. Bioelectricity is generated by the movement of ions across cell membranes and is essential for the functioning of our bodies.

What are the inventions by Galvani?
Bioelectricity and the study of nerve messages and patterns
What phobia is the fear of static electricity?
The Phobia of static electricity is called Bioelectricity it is a real condition found by research scientists.
How was electricity dicovered?
Electricity is an important aspect of life. The earliest record of bioelectricity(a form of electricity) dates back to 1791 by Luigi Galvani.
What has the author John H Byrne written?
John H. Byrne has written: 'An introduction to membrane transport and bioelectricity' -- subject(s): Action potentials (Electrophysiology), Biological transport, Cell Membrane, Electrophysiology, Membrane Potentials, Physiology, Synaptic Transmission 'Learning and Memory'
Did Luigi Galvani discover electricity?
The first certifiable one yes, but predating him is the Baghdad Battery (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baghdad_Battery). Many have speculated on the purpose of it as an electrical device though, so we can't be sure if it is the first "battery".
What are the branches of biophysics?
The three branches of physical science is astronomy, physics and chemistry. Astronomy is the study of the universe, physics is the study of matter, energy and the interactions between them and chemistry is science that deals with reactions, properties, structure of matter and composition.
If Buddah says that the world is created by the mind then is the world not real at al?
I think you may be taking it a little too literally. I think that what is meant by 'created by the mind' refers to our perception of the world. Our senses are not necessarily what is, but what we percieve. Just for example, if you were looking at a cloud, you would not really see that cloud, you would only percieve the cloud through the light hitting the cloud, rebounding and hitting your eye which then translates the pattern of light and colour into an electrical signal which reaches the brain which translates the signals into our sense of sight. We don't how how something really looks, but we know how our brain interpret the stimuli. All we know in the world is our perception, which is created by our mind through the signals of bioelectricity. So, therefore, our world (sights, sounds, sensations) is created by our mind.
How is bioelectricity in human body?
Well, our muscles rely on electrical impulses in order to move; connected to the spinal cord and thus the brain. The heart, brain, diaphragm & various other muscles are needed for survival.

Who Invented the Electric Current?
Electricity was not invented by any one person, but its modern day use is the result of the work of inventors, scientists, and researchers, who toiled over the subject for millennia. Electricity is a natural phenomenon and so it was not 'invented' but "discovered". The discovery took place since ancient times, from the lightnings though the experiments were premitive. In the Seventeenth Century the English physician William Gilbert made a careful study of electricity and magnetism, coined a new Latin name for the phenomenon which finall gave rise to the English words "electric" and "electricity". These words made their first appearance in print in Thomas Browne's Pseudodoxia Epidemica of 1646. Further work was conducted by Otto von Guericke, Robert Boyle, Stephen Gray and C. F. du Fay. These were studies in Static electricity. Then in the 18th century, Benjamin Franklin conducted extensive research in electricity, from natural lightning. Luigi Galvani subsequently published his discovery of bioelectricity, demonstrating that electricity was the medium by which nerve cells passed signals to the muscles. Alessandro Volta's battery, or Voltaic pile, made in the nineteenth century from alternating layers of zinc and copper, provided scientists with a more reliable source of electrical energy than the electrostatic machines previously used. The recognition of electromagnetism, the unity of electric and magnetic phenomena, is due to Hans Christian Ørsted and André-Marie Ampère in 1819-1820; Michael Faraday invented the electric motor in 1821, and Georg Ohm mathematically analysed the electrical circuit in 1827. The invention of the alternant current generators by Nikola Tesla set the stardarts for the current we use now. He also made the Hydroelectric power station built on the Niagara Falls in the mid 1890's.
When blood supply does not keep up with muscle activity what is the result?
I believe that's called a cramp, and its very unpleasant. See that is why you need to stretch; when you stretch its not just your muscles, but the veins and nerves within the muscles being stretched, and because I think 70% of your body weight, its somewhere along those lines, is skeletal muscle tissue (assuming you're not obese), it is important to keep the muscles healthy. The muscles need constant blood flow, and veins need to be kept pliable. If you don't strength train your muscles atrophy and stiffen, and your heart has to work harder to get blood to various parts, and if you don't stretch, the veins become less and less flexible and its harder for the heart to get blood to the muscles in the first place. Additionally, believe it or not the nerves too are fluid dependent; human bioelectricity is rooted in a chemical reaction which, I believe involves water and sodium. Anti depressants are sodium based, to allow the electrical transmission between nerves to work better. Human nerve cells, if I'm not mistaken, are basically long sacks of saltwater, which constantly channel electricity; because like veins they are fluid based, if nerves loose flexibility, and more crucially, if less and less blood goes to them, they function less and less effectively and once you loose nerve function all other things begin falling apart. You have no idea, how much of your body is sheer nerve function; part of the reason many mentally ill people that never receive treatment are deformed, is because what happens in your brain, sooner or later, happens in your body. If you are a very sad person for example, the neural deterioration in the brain, inevitably transfers to central and peripheral nerve deterioration Sigmund Freud, the world's most famous Psychologist, was concerned with mental health because he correctly observed that the reason many of his patients kept coming back, was because they were mentally ill. He gave them medicine, prescribed rest and all that he did his job as a doctor alright? However, his patients, were not getting better; it was not until he started listening to their problems, analyzing the mind in an abstract manner, and giving them advice on how to solve them that their health problems FINALLY stopped. There is a "mind body" connection, and believe it or not the most important fitness activity is stretching.
