Study Notes
- Dr. S.Gnana Saravanan is handling the 22BM2011 Signal Conditioning Circuits module in Department of Biomedical Engineering.
- Biopotential Measurement is being covered in Module 1.
- Biopotentials and bioelectric currents are essential concepts in the study of electricity in living organisms.
- Bioelectric currents consist of three types: Action potential, Nernst Potential, and Diffusion Potential.
- Bioelectric events are detected using bio-electrodes and electrode-skin interfaces.
- Luigi Galvani conducted the Dead Frog Experiment in 1791, marking the origin of the study of bioelectricity.
- A human cell is composed of various types of cells, each containing ions such as Sodium and Chloride.
- A cell in the resting state has a stable electric potential difference, called the Resting Potential.
- This potential is in the range of -60 to -100mV and is maintained by the cell being polarized.
- Stimulation of a cell causes the membrane to become permeable to Sodium and Chloride ions, leading to Depolarization.
- Depolarization results in an Action Potential, which is a measure of the potential difference at this stage.
- After the Action Potential, the cell goes through Repolarization by the Sodium Pumping process, which quickly pumps Sodium ions out of the cell.
- Hyperpolarization occurs for a short period after Repolarization, increasing the cell potential beyond the Resting Potential.
- Muscular Contraction and Expansion are caused by the migration of ions and the resulting potential differences.
- Bioelectric current flow in living organisms is different from electrical current used to generate light or heat, as it is influenced by the biological environment.
