The speed of propagation of the action potential (an electrical signal) in a nerve cell depends (inversely) on the diameter of the axon (nerve fibre). If the nerve cell connecting the spinal cord to your feet is 1.1 m long, and the nerve impulse speed is 18m/s. How long does it take for the nerve signal to travel this distance?
