1) The document discusses the electrochemical basis of the action potential in excitable cells such as neurons. It describes how ion gradients across the cell membrane give rise to resting membrane potentials and how threshold stimuli lead to changes in membrane permeability and regenerative depolarization.
2) The work of Hodgkin, Huxley, and others is summarized, showing that the rising phase of the action potential is due to sodium influx and the falling phase to potassium efflux. Their model describes changes in sodium and potassium conductance that underlie action potential generation and propagation.
3) Myelination is described as increasing the speed of action potential propagation along axons by increasing membrane resistance and decreasing capacitance at the nodes of Ran

Hairy research: Can hair tell the story about your health?Firhan Malik
In 2004-05, my honours thesis in Biochemistry, at Laurentian University, proposed using human hair samples to look at the concentration of heavy metals. We wanted to see to whether you could relate the metal concentration to a person's health status. These slides were originally used during my research proposal presentation. They provide evidence in the literature demonstrating links between metal concentrations and disease.
The Action and resting potential of the body are discussed. The working of body cell, tissue and how the electrical activity of body cell done? are discussed.

What is different about life? it is inherited oberwolfach march 7 1 2018Bob Eisenberg
What is different about life? Why do life sciences require different science and mathematics? I address these issues starting from the obvious: all of life is inherited from genes. Twenty thousand genes of say 30 atoms each control an animal of ~1e25 atoms. How is that possible? Answer: the structures of life form a hierarchy of devices that allow handfuls of atoms to control everything. A nerve signal involves meters of nerve but is controlled by a few atoms. Indeed, potassium and sodium differ only in the diameter of the atoms. Life depends on this difference in diameter. Sodium and potassium are otherwise identical. The task of the biological scientist is first to identify the hierarchy of devices and what they do. Then we want to know how the devices work. We want to understand life well enough to improve its devices, in disease and technology.
this presentation on cellular electrophysiology carry the information of electrical properties of biophysiology in cellular level. i hope it help you all.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

nerve or muscle

to all ions: the injury current drops to zero, this is the negative variation
