The "body's electrical wiring" is a complex collection of nerves and specialized cells known as neurons that transmit signals between different parts of the body. It is our nervous system.
Structurally, the nervous system has two components: the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. According to the National Institutes of Health, the central nervous system is made up of the brain, spinal cord and nerves. The peripheral nervous system consists of sensory neurons, ganglia (clusters of neurons) and nerves that connect to one another and to the central nervous system.
