Why does an electric shock contractscontract the muscle?

fromFrom what I understand, the electrical impulse in our nerve cells is not made of electrons, but of ions that move from different environments with different concentrations, which is totally not related to the electricity we use, which is made of electrons. The electricity we use makes our muscles contract, why? Does it have to do with the fact, that when we put electrodes with electricity in an electrolyte, ions move?
