electrical properties of tissues

The electrical properties of tissues refer to how they conduct and resist electrical signals, mainly influenced by their water content, ion concentration, and cell structure. Tissues like muscles and nerves are good conductors because they contain lots of electrolytes (charged particles), allowing electrical signals to pass easily. Conversely, fat and bone have low water content and act as insulators, resisting electrical flow. These properties are important in medical imaging and treatments, helping us understand tissue health and function by observing how they respond to electrical signals.
