Doc Niel 0 Posted May 5, 2004 Something else to add to this. If you lose your sense of smell, and I say this because it has been shown in the past, the taste buds can adapt to sensing some smells, now altought this is a learned function, its socialibly not the "norm" to go around acting like reptiles sensing for food in the air. Just a though :lol: Doc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nik 0 Posted May 29, 2004 As I said, I don't remember...... If I can't find my notes, I'll have to do the test again. I finally found my notes on this experiment! I can't believe I still have them! For myelinated fibres, we measured impulse speeds of about 105 m/s (with a standard deviation of about 15 m/s). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nik 0 Posted May 29, 2004 Yes it is! That means if you get stung in the hand by a bee, you won't "feel" it for about 10 ms, then won't recoil for another 10 ms! During that time, the bee could fly about 1/8 or an inch! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WEAREBORG4102 0 Posted May 29, 2004 Impressive!!! that's not good as mosquoitoes can fly faster and I need to feel them as I have a sever allergic reaction to them and other bugs... That's why I need Epipens Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
