Animal Electricity

Animal electricity refers to the electrical signals generated within the body of animals, including humans. These signals are produced by nerve cells (neurons) and muscle cells through the movement of ions—charged particles—across cell membranes. When a nerve is activated, it creates an electrical impulse that travels rapidly along its length, transmitting information or triggering muscle contractions. This biological electricity is essential for functions like sensing the environment, controlling muscles, and coordinating bodily processes. Unlike man-made electrical devices, animal electricity is generated internally through complex cellular mechanisms but follows similar basic principles of electrical charge movement.
