Electrical wires transmit electrical currents (electrons) along the wire and are encased in a insulated jacket that keeps the wires from short circuiting with neighboring wires so the electrical current can travel quickly and efficiently along the wire. Nerves resemble these wires in that the axons of the nerve fibers are similar looking as they are enclosed in a myelinated sheath. Nuerons do not transmit electrical currents, but rather they transmit charged ions.

When you touch both the live and neutral wires, a difference in electric potential exists, creating a circuit through your body. This allows current to flow, resulting in an electric shock. The human body is a conductor of electricity, and the shock can disrupt normal electrical signals in the body, potentially causing injury or even death.
The human body typically has an electric field strength of around 10 to 100 millivolts per meter. This electric field is generated by the movement of charged particles within the body, such as ions in nerve cells and muscles. The electric field within the body plays a crucial role in various physiological processes, such as nerve conduction and muscle contraction.
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.
You don't experience a shock in an open circuit. The only time that you can get a shock from an open circuit is when you act as a switch and close the circuit or you ground the circuit hot side to ground with your body. Current has to flow to give you a shock.
You experience an electric shock when an electric current enters your body. A current can enter your body when you accidentally become part of an electric circuit. Whether you recieve a deadly shock depends on the amount of current that flows into your body. Answered on: October 24, 2011.
when it completes a circuit in the body
The conductability situation of the object of study determins the severity of electric shock on the human body.
The skin
This is the same as the human brain.
yes and no lmfao
The mouth (larynx).
Well the human body is mostly water which is a great conducter and I tested it (with a circuit) and found that it worked. So, yes.
Yes it is possible. That's how the electric chair works.
lol i just forgot
The human body has a dual circulatory system: one circuit takes blood to and from the lungs (pulmonary circuit), the other supplies blood to the rest of the body.
