IntroductionBioelectric Potentials: for various functions, body
generate their own monitoring signals which contain some useful information.
These signals are bioelectric potentials associated with nerve conduction, brain activity, heartbeat, muscle activity and so on.
Its an ionic voltages and its produced by certain electrochemical activity by special types of cells. Transducers can convert this ionic to electrical voltages.
First time Italian Professor, Luigi Galvani(1786), claim that he found electricity in muscle of a frog’s leg. In human 1903 by Dutch physician willem Einthoven.
Development of semiconductor electronics, the research made easy.

Resting and Action PotentialsCertain types of cells such as nerve and
muscle cells are encased in semipermeable membrane.
Surrounding the cell contain body fluids which is conductive solution having charged atoms kwon as atoms.
The principal Ions are sodium(Na+), Potassium(K+), and Chloride(CL-).
Cell Membrane allows K+ and Cl- to enter inside but blocks the Na+
Because of that more Na+ outside and Cl- and K+ inside. Due to less K+ , outside cell shows + and inside is -.

Resting and Action PotentialsEquilibrium is reached with a potential difference across
the membrane, negative on the inside and positive on the outside.
This membrane potential is called the “Resting Potential” of the cell and maintained until some kind of disturbance upset the equilibrium.
Research provided the value ranging from -60 mV to -100 mV. A Cell in the resting state is said to be polarized.
When a section of a cell membrane is excited by the flow of ionic current or by some form of externally applied energy,, the membrane allows some Na+ and try to reach some balance of potential inside and outside. Same time the some K+ goes outside but not rapidly like sodium.

Resting and Action Potentials

•As a result, the cell has slightly Positive potential on the inside Due to the imbalance of the Potassium ions.•This potential is known as “action Potential” and is approximately +20 mV.•A cell that has been excited and that displays an action potential is said to be depolarized and process from resting to action potential is called depolarization

Resting and Action PotentialsThe time scale depends on the cell producing the potential. In nerve and muscle cells, repolarization occur as spike
around 1 msec total duration. Heart muscle need 150 to 300 msec.
Regardless of the method by which cell is excited or the intensity of the stimulus, the action potential is always the same for any given cell. This is known as the all-or-nothing law.
The small period of time where the cell can not respond to any new stimulus is known as a absolute refractory period, last for 1 msec in nerve cells.
Following the absolute refractory period, there occurs a relative refractory period, during which another action potential can be triggered but much stronger stimulation is required.

Propagation of action potentialsThe rate at which an action potential
moves down a fiber or is propagate from cell to cell is called the propagation rate.
In nerve fiber the propagation rate is also called the nerve conduction rate, or conduction velocity. Velocity range in nerves is from 20 to 140 meters per second.
In heart muscle, the rate is slower, average 0.2 to 0.4 m/sec

The Electrocardiogram(ECG)The bio-potentials generated by the
muscles of the heart result in the electrocardiogram(ECG). German word EKG
To understand the ECG generation, Need to understand the anatomy of the heart.

Electrical activity is recorded by electrocardiogram (ECG)
P wave corresponds to depolarization of SA node
QRS complex corresponds to ventricular depolarization
T wave corresponds to ventricular repolarization
Atrial repolarization record is masked by the larger QRS complex

The Electroencephalogram(EEG)The recorded representation of bioelectric
potential by the neuronal activity of the brain is called the electroencephalogram.
The waveform varies greatly with the location of the measuring electrodes on the surface of the scalp.
