[11] The prerequisites considered in section 2 allow one to
suggest a qualitative picture of the resonance electromagnetic
mechanism of solar-terrestrial connections and their influence on
the states of separate systems of the human organism. The
suggested mechanism is shown schematically in Figure 1.
The essence of the mechanism is as follows. The
nonstationary processes occurring on the Sun are accompanied by
considerable changes in the basic factors that affect the near-Earth
space, i.e., X-ray and extreme ultraviolet radiation ( h n ), fluxes of
highly energetic charged particles (e-, H+ ), and the solar wind with
a frozen-in magnetic field ( H). Through a large variety of fairly
complicated physical-chemical processes, these factors give rise to
changes in basic characteristics of the near-Earth space, including
the Earth's ionosphere. This means that fundamental characteristics
of the global natural Alfvén and Schumann resonators (dielectric
permeability of the resonators and their geometric characteristics)
undergo changes. As a result, the quality factors of these resonators
and the frequencies of their fundamental modes change.
[12] Since during millions of years the human organism has
been subjected to a continual action of the electromagnetic fields
generated by the global near-Earth resonators, it is quite reasonable
to suppose that it is fully adapted to these fields. Changes in the
characteristics of these fields (resonance frequencies, intensities)
must find response in the states of separate systems of the human
organism.
