Further, to be more down to earth, let us experience the static of dry
winter.  When we touch something, electricity flows out of our body,
discharging our bioelectricity  in the form of a  "huge" spark.   Or, if
this is not evident enough,  try using our own body as an electrical
conductor.  By conneting oneself in
the middle of a live wire, one becomes an integral part of that =

conducting system.    Electricity flows from one end of the body to the =

exit point into that live wire.  Therefore, electrons do flow through
live  organisms, and therefore  undoubtedly also possible in the nerve
action potential flows.
