Imyenda ya galvani ivamo iba imwe, ifite kole cyane, kandi ifite ubudahangarwa bukomeye bwo kwangirika bitewe n'ingaruka zikomeye z'umubiri n'imiti biba hagati y'icyuma n'imyenda ya zinc ishongeshejwe. Urwego rw'icyuma ruhuza n'urwego rwa zinc n'imyenda ya zinc, bigatuma habaho ubudahangarwa bwiza bwo kwangirika.
