Abstract

In this review we raised the need of the students in general and in particular those of bioengineering and medicine to obtain basic information on the electrophysiology of excitable tissue. It is important to establish some historical concepts of how it evolved and the theoretical framework of electricity and electronics we handle today was structured. This information serves as a basis for understanding the technological development of electronics that is used particularly for the design and construction of biomedical devices. We discuss general concepts equivalent to the cell membrane excitable tissue and establish functional behavior of voltage and current in a biological system circuit.
