Bioelectromagnetism

Bioelectromagnetism (pronounced: bio-elec-tro-mag-net-ism) is a branch of Biology and Physics that studies the electric, electromagnetic, and magnetic phenomena which arise in biological tissues. These phenomena include the behavior of Neurons, cardiac cells, and electromagnetic radiation emitted by living cells and organisms.

Etymology

The term "Bioelectromagnetism" is derived from the Greek words "bios" (life), "electron" (amber, a source of electric charge), "magnētis lithos" (magnesian stone, a natural magnet), and "ismos" (a doctrine or theory).
