A nerve provides a common pathway for the electrochemical nerve impulses that are transmitted along each of the axons to peripheral organs. In the central nervous system, the analogous structures are known as tracts. Neurons are sometimes called nerve cells, though this term is potentially misleading since many neurons do not form nerves, and nerves also include non-neuronal Schwann cells that coat the axons in myelin. Each nerve is a cordlike structure that contains many axons. Within a nerve, each axon is surrounded by a layer of connective tissue called the endoneurium. The axons are bundled together into groups called fascicles, and each fascicle is wrapped in a layer of connective tissue called the perineurium.

The speed of a nerve impulse varies with the type of nerve impulse the nervous system is sending. Some signals such as those for muscle position, travel at speeds up to 119m/s. Nerve impulses such as pain signals travel slower at 0.61m/s. Touch signals travel at speeds of 76.2m/s. If you are reading this at this moment and thinking at the same time, which some people may have trouble with, thought signals are traveling at speeds ranging between 20 and 30 meters per second.

The dendrites serve as the stimulus receptors for the neuron, but they respond to a number of different types of stimuli. The neurons in the optic nerve respond to electrical stimuli sent by the cells of the retina. Other types of receptors respond to chemical neurotransmitters. The cell body contains the necessary structures for keeping the neuron functional.

Many nerve cells are of the basic type illustrated above. Some kind of stimulus triggers an electric discharge of the cell which is analogous to the discharge of a capacitor. This produces an electrical pulse on the order of 50-70 millivolts called an action potential.

On the other hand, some nerve pulses travel at speeds of up to a few hundred meters per second. The speed of the impulse transmission depends on many variables, such as the diameter and type of the nerve fiber, whether it has a myelinated sheath, etc.

No it does not have a cell wall because only plant cells have a cell wall but a nerve cell is an animal cell and an animal cell dose not have a cell wall.

They don't move, they produce electrons which travel through synapses. The nerve cell (or neuron) doesn't move.

That is fast! Now that you know how fast a nerve impulse can travel, let’s take a look at the system that is the highway for these electrical signals. The human body is made of trillions of tiny cells. Each cell is so small you need a microscope to see them. Your skin, your hair, your eyes – all are made up of cells. Different types of cells do different jobs. Muscle cells move your body. Skin cells protect your body. One special type of cell, neurons, allow your brain to send messages to every part of your body.

Some kinds of signals, like the ones for muscle position travel on extra-fast nerve impulses at speeds of up to 390 feet per second (119 meter/second). Close your eyes and wave your arms around: you can tell where they are at every moment because the muscle-position nerves are very fast ….

how fast do nerve cells travel?
Nerve cells travel 390 feet per second. The nerve cells travels 390 feet per second that is 119 meter per second.
