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