124 THE MIRACLE OF ELECTRICITY IN THE BODY

The human brain, the body’s control center, consists of billions of nerve cells.
When working at high capacity, these cells use one-fifth of the blood pumped by
the heart, despite representing only 2% of the body’s weight. Blood carries the
oxygen and sugar the nerve cells require in order to produce electrical impulses.
The brain consumes the oxygen and sugar in the blood ten times faster than oth-
er tissues which are at rest. If the brain is deprived of blood for more than five
minutes, its cells start to die.

that such a system establishes such rich, wide-ranging communications
reveals the perfection in our nervous system.
The brain regulates and monitors the body by using electrical ener-
gy. Indeed, everything that you see, feel, imagine or remember consti-
tutes a world made up of electrical signals. The brain is where every-
thing you know about yourself and your surroundings comes into exis-
tence. The entire universe and everything in it, everyone you know and
every detail about them are all determined in your brain. The brain is
sovereign over every outward detail and over every point in your body,
thanks to the design created by God.
