Abstract

The paper traces the history of, and tabulates determinations of the electrical resistivity of blood, other body fluids, cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle, lung, kidney, liver, spleen, pancreas, nervous tissue, fat, bone, and other miscellaneous tissues. Where possible, the conditions of measurement are given.

Sommaire

Cet article présente l'historique et les résultats de lévaluation de la résistivité électrique du sang et d'autres liquides biologiques, du muscle cardiaque, des muscles du squelette, des poumons, des reins, du foie, de la vesicule biliaire, du pancréas, des tissus nerveux, des vaisseaux, des os et de divers autres tissus. On indique les conditions de mesure lorsque cela est possible.
