Biochemical Signals

Biochemical signals contain information about changes in concentration of various chemical agents in the body. The concentration of various ions, such as calcium and potassium, in cells can be measured and recorded. Changes in the partial pressures of oxygen (pO2) and carbon dioxide (pCO2) in the respiratory system or blood are often measured to evaluate normal levels of blood oxygen concentration. All of these constitute biochemical signals. These biochemical signals can be used for a variety of purposes such as determining levels of glucose, lactate, and metabolites and providing information about the function of various physiological systems.
