the eel has an asymmetricstructure on one side, as shown in Figure 4. On one side, the electrocyte has an innervatedmembrane that allows ion flux to occur and the formation of the action potential (+𝟔𝟓 𝐦𝐕), whileon the other side lies the non-innervated membrane, which remains at its resting potential(−𝟖𝟓 𝐦𝐕). Even though the voltage across a single electrocyte is only 𝟏𝟓𝟎 𝐦𝐕, when these cellsare connected to form the main electric organ, the electric eel has the capability of discharging at𝟔𝟎𝟎 𝐕 [11].
