Question

Mention the maximum speed of nerve impulse in our body.

Answer 1

Answer:

288 km/h

Explanation:

The fastest nerve impulses travel at 288 km/h (180 mph) and are achieved by various nerves in the body. This was published by C.F. Stevens, in New York, in 1966, in Neurophysiology: A Primer.

Answer 2

Nerve conduction velocity (CV) is an important aspect of nerve conduction studies. It is the speed at which an electrochemical impulse propagates down a neural pathway. Conduction velocities are affected by a wide array of factors, including age, sex, and various medical conditions. Studies allow for better diagnoses of various neuropathies, especially demyelinating diseases as these conditions result in reduced or non-existent conduction velocities. It may speed up to 120 m/s
