Über die sekundär-elektromotorischen Eigenschaften der menschlichen Haut

Abstract: A. Einleitung.Seit Peltier (1834) ist es schon bekannt, dal~'tierische Tefle, wenn sic elektrisch durehstrSmt werden, sieh polarisieren und nach Abtrennung der Stromquelle einen Depolarisationsstrom liefern. Gen~uer untersucht sind diese Erseheinungen in erster Linie bei Nerven, in zweiter bei Muskelnl).Die tierisehe Haut ist bisher noeh weniger untersucht worden. Es finden sieh in der physiologischen Literatur auBer der besagten Arbeit yon Peltier nur gelegentlich einmal Angaben fiber dig Polarisierbarkeit di… Show more

“…It is likely that the temperature effect represents an alteration of the conductance across a membrane in the skin and, possibly, a secondary change in the activity of sympathetic nerve endings. The increase in basal resistance upon cooling and the decrease in basal resistance upon warming would be compatible with the characteristic changes in the permeability of biological membranes observed by other investigators (Dayson & Danielli, 1943) and with the changes in the polarization potential of skin observed by David (1922). The change in amplitude of the GSR with temperature can likewise be explained in terms of ionic mobilities through membranes, but this is best discussed elsewhere.…”

“…Galler, in a very nice piece of work, measured the resistance of the body, using both direct and alternating current, by measuring the amount of polarization during the flow of the current. David, in 1922, also presented a method of indirectly measurnig body resistance by factoring out the polarization effect.…”
