Human Tissue Can Conduct Electricity Better Than You Think
Muscle and nerve tissue are naturally electrically conductive, carrying ions that allow signals to travel rapidly. But here’s the surprising part:
Skin, even dry skin, conducts electricity too thanks to salts and electrolytes within the tissue layers.
This is why:
- Lie detector tests work (electrodermal response)
- Smartwatches can measure heart rate
- Your fingers trigger touch screens
Your body is, in many ways, a living biological circuit.
