Why does my electric range pass electricity into my hand through the pan I just moved into a new place and the stove sent electric shocks up my arms everytime I grabbed the pan had to turn it off?

It sounds like your stove is missing a ground wire. Sounds like one of your elements has shorted to ground. Shut the stove off at the breaker and get a qualified electrician to look at the problem. For you to get a shock you must have had your other hand on the stove or you are standing on a grounded medium. (eg concrete floor.) DO NOT USE THE STOVE. The amount of current you could receive could kill you.

Does your body allow electricity to flow through it?
Yes of course, we have salts, minerals etc.... so they do The body is not a great conductor, but it can conduct electricity and that is why you can feel a shock through static electricity or a killing shock such as an electric chair. Conductance will vary from person to person and will change depending on conditions such as sweat, being wet from a shower and so forth.
