    Are humans technically hydraulic with all the blood and such?

      No hydraulic would imply using fluid pressure to effect work whereas we use electricity to contract and relax muscle fibers

        While muscle contraction is triggered electrically (or electrolytically, considering the role that ions play in action potentials) the physical force of the contraction is generated by a mechanochemical process.
