Conductivity and resistivity are vital for several reasons:
Nerve impulse transmission: The transmission of electrical signals along neurons relies on the conductivity of the nerve fibers and the surrounding extracellular fluid. Muscle contraction: Muscle tissues require electrical signals to contract, and these signals are influenced by the conductivity of the muscle and surrounding tissues. Diagnostic techniques: Techniques like electrocardiography (ECG) and electroencephalography (EEG) depend on the electrical properties of tissues to monitor heart and brain activity, respectively.
