Effects of Electricity on the Human Body
Late investigations into electric currents show direct currents contract blood vessels and raise blood pressure while alternating currents dilate vessels and reduce pressure. Currents over 200 volts are dangerous and over 500 often fatal. Human body resistance varies from 16 000 to 80 000 ohms with skin contributing most. Intensity depends on contact amount and moisture. moist skin lowers resistance. When alternating current reaches 150 cycles per second, heart action stops immediately and body fluids swell. In an accident, the head of the shocked person should be kept elevated.
