D'Arsonval points out that Lakhovsky > > and Crile found that living cells are electrical cells functioning as > system > > of generators, inductance lines, and insulators. The underlying mechanism > is > > the oscillating circuit.

The capacity of a condenser of an isolated body is a measure of the > > charge of the quantity of electricity it is capable of storing. From such a > > circuit, energy is readily given off in the form of waves. According to > > Lakhovsky, the nucleus of a living cell may be compared to an electrical > > oscillating circuit. The nucleus consists of tubular filaments, > chromosomes, > > mitochondria, made up of insulating material and filled with a conducting > > fluid containing all the mineral salts found in sea water.
