∙ 15y agoIt varies from nerve to nerve (from 1 meter per second to 100 meters per second).
The nerves to the voluntary muscles are myelinated, and thus are at the high speed end of speeds.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoYour brain, and central nervous system, sends messages at the very efficient, and fast, rate of around one hundred and seventy miles per hour.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoThis depends upon the individual neuron - some are relatively slow (2 mph) while others are fairly rapid (200 mph).

Can heartbeat restart spontaneously after death?
Death occurs when the person is without the functions of their brain (Some brain cells live on,meaning the brain didnt "die"). Prior to that, the person is not dead, regardless of what the heart is doing. If they are not dead, the heart is not restarting after death, but may continue to beat if the nerves send their last messages after death to the heart. It can happen. But its extremely unlikely.
What sense organs send information about the environment to the?

How can the brain tell if something is hot?
The skin, including the skin on your hands, has thermoreceptors that send messages to the brain about temperature. However, they respond to CHANGES in temperature, not temperature itself. So, if you come in from the cold, all surface temperatures will feel very warm, but gradually as you warm up, the surfaces will seem neutral. And, think about what happens when you put your hand in a lake on a hot day - it feels really cold, but if you jump in, eventually your skin will adjust to the temperature. Now, if the surface is burning hot or freezing cold, the pain receptors, not the thermoreceptors, in your skin react.
