    There are over 100 billion neurons in the human brain, which if lined up would stretch over 600 miles. The nervous system transmits impulses at speeds up to 180 miles per hour allowing signals to quickly reach the brain from all over the body. The document discusses the large numbers of neurons in the human body and brain as well as the fast speeds at which the nervous system can transmit signals.

    There are billions of nerve cells in the human body;

    whether their number is actually more than the number


    of stars in the Milky Way galaxy is debatable, but their
    number is definitely more than the number of people on
    Earth.

    Most of the sources maintain that the average number of


    neurons in the human brain is 100 billion, and if all these
    neurons were to be lined up, it would form a 600-mile
    long line.

    The nervous system is able to transmit impulses at the


    speed of 100 meters per second. In fact, the speed of
    message transmission to the brain can be as high as
    180 miles per hour.
