What makes electricity in our bodies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Questions: Not sure what you are asking. If you mean static electricity, it is causes by a dry environment allowing charges to build on a surface. Our nerves work sort of like electrical wires. The charges are created through what we call biochemistry and charged particles called ions move making charges.
