Electrochemical equivalent

electrolysis /elec·trol·y·sis/ (e″lek-trol´ĭ-sis) destruction by passage of a galvanic current, as in disintegration of a chemical compound in solution or removal of excessive hair from the body.

e·lec·trol·y·sis (

-l

k-tr

-s

k-)

1. Chemical change, especially decomposition, that is produced in an electrolyte by an electric current.

2. Destruction of living tissue, especially that of the hair roots, by means of an electric current applied with a needle-shaped electrode.

electrolysis

[il′ektrol′isis]

Etymology: Gk, elektron + lysis, loosening

a process in which electric energy causes a chemical change in a conducting medium, usually a solution or a molten substance, or the decomposition of a substance such as hair follicles. electrolytic, adj.

electrolysis [e″lek-trol´ĭ-sis]

destruction by passage of a galvanic current, as in disintegration of a chemical compound in solution or removal of excessive hair from the body.

electrolysis (i·lek·tr

ˑ·l

·sis),

n means by which electrical energy is conducted through electrodes into a substance (molten or in solution), thus causing a chemical change in the substance.

electrolysis

destruction by passage of a galvanic current, as in disintegration of a chemical compound in solution or destruction of hairs such as cilia from eyelids in distichiasis or trichiasis.
