Beginning Of The Electrophysiology

BEGINNING OF THE ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY

Abstract: Electrophysiology is a science of great importance to know our biological system, which is why the origin of this knowledge is so important because itallows us to know and display the errors into which we fell to start this beautiful path of science.

system, leaving the motor nerves it, and finally, the muscles that are responsible for theaction. After that scientists like Thomas Willis and Sir Isaac Newton raised support concepts and ideas as the theoretical existence of a strong organic "fluid" than water, which although not anotherconcept remained the same tube quiver raised long hydraulic ago. But all approaches were only theories, and only in the last decade of the eighteenth century could give an experimental approach. Thepioneers were to be two great Italian scientist, Luigi Galvani and Alessandro Volta. The first people to study bio-electricity were Luigi Galvani and Alessandro Volta in the eighteenth century. On November6, 1780, Galvani made an extraordinary discovery. While researching on electrostatic generators, noted that when touched the nerves of a frog's leg with the tip of a knife, the muscles were shakingspontaneously, even without the electrostatic device was connected. These contractions occurred simultaneously with the electric sparks from the machine and presented when holding the knife by the bladeand not by its handle. These observations are known today as the first experiment of Galvani. Galvani thought the relationship of electricity and natural muscle was fundamental, was

IntroductionElectrophysiology is a branch of knowledge that deals with the study of the levels or electrical properties present in tissues, cells and all biological systems, to obtain information about thebehavior and functioning of our body systems. To reach this science and progress have we now had to go through a long path of theories, evidence and especially errors, so this document represents the...
