ABSTRACT
Bioelectricity plays an important role in regulating various metabolic processes in living tissues. In view of inherent electromagnetic phenomenon of the living tissues, the external electrical stimulation can be used to regulate the various metabolic processes in cells/tissues. The fundamental unit of matter, an atom, consists of charged particles such as protons, electrons, and neutrons. Together, electrons and protons make an atom neutral along with a neutron, however, when this balance shifts, atoms change to ions. It is widely known that the cell membrane of a eukaryotic cell is composed of a lipid bilayer along with the embedded transmembrane proteins. The maintenance of the ionic homeostasis signifies that there is an inherent gradient in the concentration of various ions across the cellular membrane, which contributes to a small electric potential across the membrane. This electric potential is called the resting potential of the cell.
