trical current passing through the nerves proceeds in a millisecond, or
1/1000 seconds, and sets the muscle fibers in motion.

The commands reaching the muscles are both produced in and
transported by the nervous system. In that way, the muscular system
functions under the command of the nervous system, and the muscles
work harmoniously thanks to this co-ordination in the body.
Muscle cells perform these deliberate actions in a matter of millisec-
onds, without your having to think about them. Since that obedience
cannot belong to the cells themselves, who tells them what to produce,
and when? Whose intelligence and consciousness guide the hormones
and molecules to the correct location? Who tells them they are at the
right place when they arrive, and who directs all these actions? The su-
perior Intelligence manifested in the movement of the muscles belongs
to God, the Creator of the cell and the molecules, Who inspires their be-
havior.

Muscle cells can alter their dimensions to a considerable ex-
tent and apply a mechanical force by so doing. With this ca-
pacity, muscle tissue plays a role in movement, a vital fea-
ture of every living thing.
