Galvani's experiment

Galvani's experiment involved attaching a frog's leg to two metal wires and connecting them to a source of electricity. When the wires touched the nerve, the leg twitched, demonstrating that electrical signals can trigger muscle movement. This experiment showed that nerves conduct electrical impulses, revealing a link between electricity and biological processes. It was crucial in understanding that the nervous system uses electrical signals to communicate within the body.
