When did Luigi Galvani make his important contribution?

Answer 1

Well im not positive im trying to figure this question out though..... Wow. Great answer that really answered the question. The right answer is ...Galvani's most famous discovery was effects of electricity on animal nerves and muscles. Luigi was born in Bologna in 1737, and was a medical student in the University of Bologna, the school that he would later teach at. During his career as a professor of Anatomy at the university, he accidentally discovered that a frog leg would twitch when it was touched with an electrified scalpel.

Galvani was also able to make a crude battery in 1786. The battery contained two different metals, and natural juices from a frog. These experiments and discoveries helped to blur the line between Biology, chemistry, and electricity, possibly inspiring other scientists do research in the field. The Galvani' deductions were later corrected by Alessandro Volta, but his discoveries were still startling at the time.
