Study of the Thermoelectric Effect in the Animal's Blood.

The paper presents the results of experimental measurements of thermoelectromotive force and electrical conductivity of animal blood samples and Ringer's medical solution, which are similar in their properties and chemical composition to human blood. The influence of the contributions of the ionic component and the contribution of blood corpuscles on the value of the thermoelectromotive force coefficient is analyzed. The effect of dilution with distilled water on thermo electric properties and electrical conductivity of blood has been studied. The influence of the ionic composition of a model medical Ringer's solution on the coefficient of thermo electromotive force is analyzed. The experimental results show that the co efficient of thermoelectromotive force of the blood samples under study is determined to a greater extent by the colloidal component of the shaped elements than by the contribution of the ionic subsystem. The results obtained indicate that thermoelectric phenomena in biological fluids can affect the activation of bio chemical processes in the body of animals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
