Summary Introduction
To state: The four principles of electricity that are important in physiology.
Introduction: Physiology is the study of the normal functioning of the body. The biological, physical and chemical processes undergoing in the living organisms are studied under physiology. The biochemical processes involve ions and charges. The movement of ions across the cell membrane of living organisms follows four principles of electricity.

- The concentration ofacetylcholine (a neurotransmitter) in a sample can be determined from the pH changes thataccompany its hydrolysis. When the sample is incubated with the enzymeacetylcholinesterase, acetylcholine is converted to choline and acetic acid, whichdissociates to yield acetate and a hydrogen ion: In a typical analysis, 15 mL of an aqueous solution containing an unknown amount ofacetylcholine had a pH of 7.65. When incubated with acetylcholinesterase, the pH of thesolution decreased to 6.87. Assuming there was no buffer in the assay mixture, determinethe number of moles of acetylcholine in the 15 mL sample.arrow_forwardSet Glutamic Acid to 60 µmol/mL What does glutamic acid do to the membrane potentials of: Neurons - Muscles -arrow_forwardMagnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Explain briefly the mechanism of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and how is Ampere's Law applied in such.arrow_forward
