ELECTRIC CURRENT IN LIVING ORGANISMS
Keywords:
electric current, living organismsAbstract
Electric current plays a fundamental role in the functioning of living organisms, serving as the basis for many physiological processes. Bioelectric phenomena are essential for nerve impulse transmission, muscle contraction, and cellular communication. This article explores the origin, mechanisms, and significance of electrical activity in biological systems. Special attention is given to the role of ions, membrane potentials, and electrophysiological processes in maintaining homeostasis. Understanding electrical currents in living organisms contributes to advancements in medical diagnostics, treatment methods, and biomedical technologies.
