Bioelectricity refers to the electrical potentials and currents that are produced by living cells and organisms. It plays a crucial role in various biological processes and functions. Here are some key aspects of bioelectricity: 1. **Cell Membrane Potential**: All living cells maintain a voltage difference across their membranes due to the uneven distribution of ions (like sodium, potassium, calcium, and chloride). This membrane potential is essential for processes such as nerve impulse transmission and muscle contractions.
