Our bodies’ electrical system con-
sists of three regions:
1) The brain, which functions like a
perfect computer,
2) The spinal cord, which serves like
a bundle of electrical cables, one
end of which goes to the brain, and,
2
3) The nerves, which function like
electrical wires and establish con-
nections between the spinal cord
and the whole body.

Nerves depart from the brain and spinal cord
and extend to all parts of the body, including
the skin, muscles, sense organs, even the
teeth and bone marrow. In short, the nerves
are like roads that carry the body’s informa-
tion.
Nerves permit us to obtain information about
the world around us, and enable different
parts of the body to function as an integral
whole. They also undertake the transmission
of commands from the brain, the body’s com-
mand center.
This system, which functions without our be-
ing aware of it, is one of the examples of our
Almighty Lord’s mercy on human beings.
