Abstract
Results concerning the electrical polarization of frog skin by direct currents are presented with adequate statistical control. The results are discussed and show that the skin is electrically non-homogeneous and in a state of disequilibrium. The results are presumptive evidence for at least a three-unit model consisting of a series resistance and local action between an anodic area and a cathodic area as is also considered in the theory of corroding metals.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
