  2. Electrolytic cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolytic_cell

    An electrolytic cell is an electrochemical cell that utilizes an external source of electrical energy to force a chemical reaction that would otherwise not occur. [ 1 ] : 64, 89 [ 2 ] : GL7 The external energy source is a voltage applied between the cell's two electrodes ; an anode (positively charged electrode) and a cathode (negatively ...

  3. Electrolyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolyte

    Electrolytic conductors are used in electronic devices where the chemical reaction at a metal-electrolyte interface yields useful effects. In batteries , two materials with different electron affinities are used as electrodes; electrons flow from one electrode to the other outside of the battery, while inside the battery the circuit is closed ...

  4. Electrochemical cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochemical_cell

    An electrolytic cell is an electrochemical cell in which applied electrical energy drives a non-spontaneous redox reaction. [5] A modern electrolytic cell consisting of two half reactions, two electrodes, a salt bridge, voltmeter, and a battery. They are often used to decompose chemical compounds, in a process called electrolysis.

  5. Electrology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrology

    Electrology is the practice of electrical hair removal to permanently remove human hair from the body. Electrolysis is the actual process of removing hair using electricity . In electrolysis, a qualified professional called an electrologist slides a hair-thin, solid metal probe into each hair follicle without puncturing the skin (when inserted ...

  6. Galvanic cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_cell

    A galvanic cell consists of two half-cells, such that the electrode of one half-cell is composed of metal A, and the electrode of the other half-cell is composed of metal B; the redox reactions for the two separate half-cells are thus: A n + + n e − ⇌ A B m + + m e − ⇌ B. The overall balanced reaction is:

  7. Electrolyte imbalance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolyte_imbalance

    [3] [14] Stabilization of cardiac muscle cells is done by administering calcium intravenously. [3] Shift of potassium into the cells is done using both insulin and albuterol inhalers. [3] Excretion of potassium from the body is done using either hemodialysis, loop diuretics, or a resin that causes potassium to be excreted in the fecal matter. [3]

  8. Anode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anode

    In both a galvanic cell and an electrolytic cell, the anode is the electrode at which the oxidation reaction occurs. In a galvanic cell the anode is the wire or plate having excess negative charge as a result of the oxidation reaction. In an electrolytic cell, the anode is the wire or plate upon which excess positive charge is imposed. [2]

  9. Collecting duct system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collecting_duct_system

    The epithelium is composed primarily of principal cells and α-intercalated cells. [7] The simple columnar epithelium of the collecting duct system transitions into urothelium near the junction of a papillary duct and a minor calyx. [6] These cells work in tandem to reabsorb water, sodium, and urea and secrete acid and potassium.
