Frequency Range Of Operative Rhythms Of Structural Elements And Functional Systems Of The Living Organism

The dividing line between the structural elements and functional systems of the human body runs on a cell level as the cell is a primary functional system. In a living organism there are two closed systems, one of which is ?inserted? into the other – the cell (cells) and the organism as a whole. The latter has subsystems as its constituents. And the cell is a system, although subject to common correlative influence and relations, yet, at the same time functioning according to its own laws and in some cases (particularly when a pathology is the case) getting out of the control of that common correlative influence.

The functioning rhythms of structural elements of living matter are within a high frequency range of 108-1015 Hz. This is probably related to the evolution of all Earth?s living beings owing to solar radiation or, to be exact, to some of its specific spectra, reaching to the terrestrial surface. In our planets atmosphere there are two ?windows? through which sun rays get to its surface.

1. - optical ?window? letting in some of the ultraviolet rays (l = 290 – 390 nm), visible (l = 390 – 760 nm) and infrared (l = 760 – 1500 nm) electromagnetic waves.

2. –radiowave ?window? through which electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength of 1 cm to 50 m passes.

Experimentally established have been approximate resonance frequencies of some structures of the living cell: somatic cell – 2.39*1013 Hz; somatic cell nucleus – 9.55*1012 Hz; mitochondria from a hepatic cell – 3.18*1012 Hz; human cell genome – 2.5*1013 Hz; interphase chromosome –7.5*1011 Hz; metaphase chromosome – 1.5*1013 Hz; DNA – (2-9)*109 Hz; nucleosome – 4.5*1015 Hz; ribosome – 2.65*1015 Hz; cell membranes – 5*1010 Hz; cytoskeleton – 1011 Hz. The presented data completely coincide with frequency characteristics of electromagnetic waves emitted by the sun and reaching to Earth?s ground.

The operative rhythms of man?s functional systems have a low-frequency range of 0.4 – 8.2 Hz. For instance, the rhythm of gastrointestinal electric potential is 3.8 – 4.6 Hz, the respiratory rhythm is 6.3 – 7.6 Hz, the cardiac rhythm is about 3.2 Hz, the rhythm of electric activity of the nervimuscular elements is 2.6 – 6.5 Hz. The rhythm of encephalon control signals is 0.5 – 13 Hz.

The vital functions of an organism need steady operative rhythms of functional systems and their freedom from external influence. These purposes are served by the dispersion of the human body?s tissue electric properties which is associated with the state of charged particles when affected by electromagnetic fields and different frequency radiation – the dynamics of specific electrical conductivity, capacitance and plasmalemma impedance enables to practically completely shield low-frequency electromagnetic radiation (up to 103 Hz) which does not penetrate cells nor does it cause intracellular ion transfer.
