Bioelectricity; Bioimpedance; Conductor; DielectricBioimpedance, bioelectricity, and the electrical properties of tissue are much about the same things. Bioimpedance deals with some passive electrical properties of tissue: the ability to oppose (impede) electric current flow. Bioelectricity deals with the ability of tissue to generate electricity, such as done by the heart (electrocardiography). This electricity is endogenic—that ...
