ABSTRACT

The human body is a good electrical conductor. Because of this electric nature, it is possible to measure electrical activities in certain organs in our body. Electrocardiograms, electroencephalograms, and electromyograms are just three good examples. Electrical activity in the acupoints is also measurable. The anatomical elements that have this electrical activity are the nerve fibers. Nerve fibers have a number of physiological characteristics that will be useful to briefly review here.
