The speed of propagation of the action potential (an electrical signal) in a nerve cell depends (inversely) on the diameter of the axon (nerve fiber). If the nerve cell connecting the spinal cord to your feet is 1.1 m long, and and it takes 61 ms for the nerve signal to travel that distance, what is the nerve impulse speed in m/s? Use two significant figures in your result.

answer: the correct answer for the fill in the blank is rods.

rods are the specialized photoreceptor cells that are present in the retina of human eye. they are responsible for vision in the night time ( also called scotopic vision). they have very low visual acuity and color distinguishing ability.

as they are responsible for vision in night time, therefore they are found predominantly in the nocturnal animals.
