Nerve signals travel at a speed of 0.5-150 m/s. The speed varies greatly depending on how much myelin there is around the nerve thread, more myelin means higher speeds.

Why would a lack of neurotransmitters change the function of the brain?
signals travel from neuron to neuron through neurotranmitters
How fast do nerve signals travel to the brain?
There are actually different types of afferent fibers and they convey different types of information. For example the fibers that transmit pain signals are relatively slow whereas the fibers that transmit touch signals travel much faster. The conduction velocity (speed), depending on the type of fiber and the conveyed message, will range from 0.6 m/s to 120 m/s.
How fast do nerves impulses travel?
Nerve impulses travel through nerve fibers via a action potential and the speed at which the impulse travels depends on the type of nerve fibre. This can range from 100m/s in the case of touch to 20-30 m/s when you're thinking.
How fast does electrical signals travel through the human body?
350 ft/s
What nerve that connected in the nose?
the olfactory (smell) and gustatory (taste) sensations pass along the cranial nerves directly to the brain. smell signals travel from the olfactory nerve (made up of groups of nerve fibres ) to a patch of the cortex located in the temporal lobe.
How fast nerve signals travel to the brain per sec?
Nerve speeds vary, BUT on average move 115-197 ft/sec (35-60 m/sec).
What is the name of the cells in which nerve signals travel through?
Neurones
What is a short thick nerve throgh which signals travel to the brain from the eye called?
optic nerve
How fast nerve impulses travel?
Nerve impulses travel through nerve fibers, and the speed of which they travel depends on the type of nerve fiber. They travel usually around 86 miles per hour.
What are tiny pulses of electricity that move along a nerve fiber?
Nerve signals Thats what my crossword was.

These cover the axonin order to make nerve signals faster?
Some axons have an insulating coating, called the fatty myelin sheath, to make signals travel faster.
Which nerve conveys parasympathetic signals to the heart?
The Vegal Nerve conveys parasympathetic signals to the heart

How fast are nerve signals in kmh?
faster than you can ever imagine....so fast you cant measure it....that's how fast....so like a 1,000,000 kmh......yep that's it all right....
How does the brains structure relate to its function?
The Nerve Cell is also called a neuron, its shape and function is it has alot of surface area and is very thin so the diffusion of wastes, water, urea, and other wastes in and out of the blood can happen more easily, It can cling onto the bones and mussels with the dendrites ( parts coming of that looks like string)
