Question

Electric eels which part of the body produce electricity how many volts

Answer 1

The cells of all living beings generate electrical charges. This is done primarily by moving various positive ions of metals such as sodium, potassium, and calcium out side of the body cells, which makes the outside of the cell positive compared to the inside of the cell.

Voltage difference is very small just of the order of 0.15 volt, which is absolutely harmless. In an ordinary animal these cells remain in random position. The electric eel’s electrocyte cells are different. All the electrocytes in a stack are oriented in the same direction, with the smooth side towards the tail and the convoluted side towards the head. Though each cell generates only about 0.15 volts, in a large electric eel, thousands of cells may be stacked to make one giant battery that can generate as much as 600 volts for a short pulse. It works on the principle of a torch having 3 or 4 cells adding up the voltage to 3 or 4 times of that of an individual cell. In technical term, all cells are connected in series. Despite their name, electric eels aren’t actually eels (Anguilliformes). Native to South America, the eel-like fish are actually knife fish.

A very common question asked is “Why don’t electric eels shock themselves?” Part of the answer to that question is that they probably do, in fact, shock themselves but it doesn’t bother them as much as it might bother their predator or prey.

It could also be that the eel is insulated from its own shocks. Compared to other fish, in the electric eel, organs like the heart and liver are located very close to its head. It’s possible that the eel is electrically constructed so that its head and internal organs are mostly insulated and the current flows out from and back into the rest of the body. This combined with a tolerance to the effect of shocks might provide the answer.

Answer 2

The electric eel has three pairs of abdominal organs that produce electricity: the main organ, the Hunter's organ, and the Sach's organ. These organs make up four fifths of its body, and give theelectric eel the ability togenerate two types ofelectric organ discharges: low voltage and high voltage.

In the electric eel, some 5,000 to 6,000 stacked electroplaques can make a shock up to 860 volts and 1 ampere of current (860 watts) for two milliseconds (ms).

If like then make brainliest and if have any problem then comment.
