Why when we shake hands with others we feel electrical current moving through the body?

Its because of static electric charge. This happens more when a person is on plastic chair or floor and because of some friction ones body is charged with static electric. If some other person shake hands he will feel electrical current moving through the body.

The term sometimes used is paresthesia.  Paresthesia is a sensation of tingling, pricking, or numbness of the skin with no apparent physical cause.  This lack of sensation is caused by a temporary impedance of blood flow to the extremity which results in nerve cells being starved of oxygen and glucose. Additionally, the impedance of blood flow is usually due to pressure on the limb which in turn compresses the nerve cells, making transmission of neural impulses more difficult. Transient paresthesia is the familiar sensation of "pins and needles" felt when oxygen and glucose-rich blood return to the nerve cells which in turn fire at an accelerated rate until they establish their regular transmission rate.

think so... we all have static electricity in our body...

in the middle east you shouldnt offer your left hand to shake with they consider it a dirty hand..... bottom of feet are not to be shown to people.... \n america....depends on what part of the country you are in .. if I make I contact with someone I acknowlge them with a nod and wish em a good morning ect.... Peace..

So we can hold hands with interlocking fingers with our loved ones.\n\n(I believe that's the answer you are fishing for).

A rhythm of the body.

its very normal I assure you .It has happened to me a million times..Its from putting yourself in a  abnormal position and using muscles that you don't normally use..it causes a shaking afterwards for a little while..completely nomal I assure you 100 percent..

Without going into details that go away from the point, a nerve impulse travels from your brain to your hand, telling the muscles in your arm and hand to work to raise your hand.

There are receptors in your brain that are in charge of sensory feeling of touch. They are on the cortex of the brain and the area that is in charge of sensing touch on your hands and arms are right next to the area that is in charge of sensing touch on your face. It is possible that these two areas are close enough that signals from your arm are igniting centers in your brain that should be igniting when something touches your tongue.

You are making a small battery and experiencing "galvanic shock" due to a reaction between your saliva, your fillings and the aluminum foil.\n\nSearch "electromotive series" for thousands of references.

I live in the US where we have become very slopy when it comes to things like this. \nYes, you should stand up. Not only is it rude, it is akward to shake someone's hand while one person is sitting. \nI can see no reason why you would not do this other than sheer laziness.

Much of the explanation for this question is still unknown, but research has shown that the brain is trained to know what to feel when a person moves or performs any function. We aren't aware of a lot of the sensations generated by our movements. For example, you probably don't pay much attention to your vocal cords when you speak. For the same reason, we can't tickle ourselves. If we grab our sides in an attempt to tickle ourselves, our brain anticipates this contact from the hands and prepares itself for it. By taking away the feeling of unease and panic, the body no longer responds the same as it would if someone else were to tickle us.

Your attentions are tuned in. Happens to all. Not all aware of it. It's like why do we guess? WE like to feel a bond that will get us thru to next stage. Having the same environment much of the time helps.Why do we bump into same people? You're like the same river. It's not magick, it's fun and comes from comfort and higher shares purpose(vision) and if you have sex of course All You Are merges, like on that tv show. They say people start to look like their partners more and more. We become/ whatever/ we pay attention to. S/He lights up your life.

Shaking hands originated as a way to show that you didn't have a weapon in your hand when you greeted a person. I believe it was during the Roman days of Ceasars.

I believe it has something to do with your cerebellum being able to detect expected and unexpected sensations. A reasonable explanation can be found here: http://science.howstuffworks.com/question511.htm

Brian's answer is correct.\nThe 'shock' you feel is the flow of electric current through your muscles.\nBut voltage is a measure of how much potential the electric source has - the higher the voltage, the more current will flow through you when you hold the terminals. The relationship between the voltage and current is known as Ohm's law. V=I*R. Where R is the resistance between the two terminals (your body, perhaps).\nYou can die with just a few milliamps (1 amp = 1000 milliamps) of current passing through your body IF it flows through your heart (and for a certain length of time). It will induce fibrilations as it interferes with your normal heart electric current.\nHaving said all that, you can feel voltage too without causing current to flow - in the form of your hair standing on end. You need a lot of voltage (thousands of volts) to cause that sort of effect.\nAnd that brings up the next question, why doesn't regular static electricity kill you? It has thousands of volts, so why does it not cause amps to flow through your body (and heart) and kill you? Well, in most normal circumstances the quantity of charge (number of electrons) is very very small - so the current flows for only the briefest of moments and doesn't do any harm to a normal person. However, if you have a pacemaker then you can kill the device and so kill the person! Electronic circuits are typically far less robust than the human body in this circumstance.
