Animal Magnetism is when any living organism characterized by voluntary movement is affected by a strong magnetic field. Magnetism is one of the most powerful forces, but it is poorly understood. In this case neodymium magnets will affect the regeneration and biological function of the lumbricus.
When an earthworm's body is cut off into pieces, it will usually regenerate. Earthworms will usually regenerate most of their rear segments, meaning under their abdominal area. The front section of an earthworm's body depends how much has been cut off for it to regenerate. At most only the first five segments will regenerate. The ability for earthworms to regenerate makes them very useful for implant experiments.
Since all living tissue is not magnet proof, magnetism affects both animals and humans. An infinity number of experiments, with different scientists, circumstances and variables have taken place around the world. Electromagnetic fields are usually tested on earthworms by scientist using a battery or any type electric appliance, but if we were to conduct the experiment with a strong magnet it will increase the regeneration rate by at least 10%.…show more content… In this case the magnets will be the environment of the earthworms, causing them to live their daily lives on and around the magnets as they regenerate for 2 weeks. These experiments were conducted to obtain information on how the magnets can be used for therapeutic uses. For example scientists have tested neodymium magnets on mice that have tumors. It’s been proven that will the mice lived in an environment surrounded by these powerful magnets, it expanded their life expectancy. The magnetic field on an earthworm during its regeneration state will cause the behavior to change. These experiments have been tried on plants, humans, small mammals, invertebrates, and
