When most people think of electricity, the image of a lightbulb is usually the first thing that comes to mind. However, electricity is applicable to biological systems as well. Our bodies conduct small electrical signals throughout which is required for proper physiological function. In this section, we will discuss the basic foundations of electricity. Topics will include circuitry, magnets, electrochemistry, and application to biological systems with discussion about nerve cells.
