Abstract

The behavior of spheroidal cells in an applied uniform field is examined in order to gain insight into the role of cell shape in the electrical activity of biological cells. The responses of cells having different eccentricities but the same height in the direction of stimulation are compared. The effect of a change in the direction of stimulation is discussed. In the process of obtaining the results an approximate method for calculating biopotentials during extracellular stimulation is presented and justified.
