ABSTRACT:
An object of the present invention is to easily start to operate a body-insertable apparatus which is introduced into a subject and executes a predetermined function. In a capsule endoscope3of the invention, a magnetic switch14is arranged in a tubular capsule casing16of the capsule endoscope3in a direction substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis t direction of the capsule casing16. A movable electrode of the magnetic switch14is brought into contact with a fixed electrode of the magnetic switch by a magnetic induction action by a magnetic field generated by a magnet6, which is applied to the magnetic switch14from the outside of the capsule endoscope3in a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis t direction of the capsule casing16. As a result, electric power can be supplied from a power source unit to a function executing unit.
