In terms of electrical current, ten milliamps is enough to send a human heart into fibrillation.

Fibrillation is an irregular heart beat that can often kill a person.

One milliamp is 1x10-3 Amps or 0.001 Amps

In spite of having too much resistance why does current pass through the body?

Are you under the impression that water has "too much resistance" to electrical current? If so, I can't really explain this to you. The biggest substance one could point to in the human body is water. It's almost literally what a human body is made of. For this reason, human bodies conduct electricity extremely well. You're right to mention current instead of voltage. High voltage will stun you, but a few milliamps of current across your heart could easily kill you.
