Bioelectric Potentials and Electrodes Questions & Answers
Q1. What do you understand by bioelectric potentials? List the different types of biopotentials. Bioelectric potentials are ionic voltages produced when special types of cells perform electrochemical activities. These bioelectric potentials can be measured and the measurement results provide meaningful information to physician to diagnose and treat the patient. The devices that convert ionic potentials…

Electrocardiogram (ECG)
The recording of the electrical activity associated with the functioning of the heart is known as Electrocardiogram. ECG is quasi-periodical, rhythmically repeating signal synchronized by the function of the heart; which acts as a generator of bioelectric events. This generated signal can be described by means of a simple electric dipole (pole consisting of a…
