An analogy: nerves run through our skeletal muscles like electrical circuits through our homes
The wires of electrical circuits run through a house to deliver power where it is needed. Nerves in the body are like electrical circuits, except, rather than transporting electricity, nerves convey an energy with electrical and chemical components that the body uses to transmit information. Another important distinction between electrical circuits and nerves is that in a house the electrical power runs in one direction: from the service box to the outlets. Nerves move energy
