If a voltage is applied, electrons (or other charge carriers) are subjected to an attraction towards one side, and a repulsion from the opposite side. This results in the current, i.e., the flow of charge carriers.

Is it possible for a human to close an electrical circuit. Will the electricity go through him or is that not a closed circuit?

Yes, and yes. If electrical current flows through him, then he is part of a closed circuit. If the current is greater than some threshold amount, and it flows through certain specific parts of the body, then the result is the phenomenon known as "electrocution". It isn't pretty.
