Bioelectrodynamics
open-in-new
<p>Bioelectrodynamics is a branch of <a href="/facts/Medical_physics/VdCKDfeA">medical physics</a> and <a href="/facts/Bioelectromagnetism/0xquhYvr">bioelectromagnetism</a> which deals with rapidly changing <a href="/facts/Electric/hNC8D65W">electric</a> and <a href="/facts/Magnetic/eo75vApl">magnetic</a> fields in biological systems, i.e. high frequency <a href="/facts/Endogenous/DFkSLkRI">endogenous</a> electromagnetic phenomena in living cells. Unlike the events studied by the <a href="/facts/Electrophysiology/VPd5VYzm">electrophysiology</a>, the generating mechanism of bioelectrodynamic phenomenon is not connected with currents of ions and its frequency is typically much higher. Examples include vibrations of electrically polar intracellular structures and non-thermal emission of <a href="/facts/Photon/mFNhAEzA">photons</a> as a result of <a href="/facts/Metabolic/WxDrm8k5">metabolic</a> activity. </p>
