ABSTRACT

This article considers the physical properties of cells. On the basis of these properties, an electrodynamic model was constructed in terms of equivalent networks. This model makes it possible to study how external influences act upon a cell. For example, it can be employed to analyze cell behavior at different doses of pharmaceuticals, alpha emission, beta radiation, gamma rays, and electromagnetic fields.
