bioelectricity

Example:The bioelectric potential generated by neural activity can be detected using electroencephalography (EEG).

Definition:The electrical charge or voltage difference across a cell membrane or between two points in a biological tissue.

Example:Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is used to estimate body composition, including muscle and fat mass.

Definition:A measure of the resistance to the flow of electric current through a biological tissue, which is influenced by the amount of water and electrolytes in the body.

Example:Neurologists analyze bioelectrical signals to diagnose neurological disorders.

Definition:An electrical signal produced by a biological system, such as an action potential in a neuron or muscle cell.
