Best Answer

The electric eel can produce a jolt of electricity in a similar manner to how a human can cause an electromyleograph to record a signal except the eel's muscles are arranged in segments that function as photovoltaic cells in series. They can produce 600 volts of current. See links.

Yes they do. They have nerve endings much like our own. Nerve endings use electrical impulses to send messages to the brain. Electric eels have clusters of specialized nerve endings that can create a powerful shock.
