Electric organ (fish) - Wikipedia
Electric organs are composed of stacks of specialised cells that generate electricity . These are variously called electrocytes, electroplaques or electroplaxes. In some species they are cigar-shaped; in others, they are flat disk-like cells. en.wikipedia.org

Electric eel | Diet & Electric Shock | Britannica
Jan 18, 2024An electric eel can deliver a shock because its nervous system contains a number of disc-shaped electrogenic (electricity-producing) cells called electrocytes.Each electrocyte carries a net negative electric charge; the electrocyte's inner periphery is negatively charged and has a potential difference of just under 100 millivolts relative to the deeper parts of the cell's interior (which ...
