Q. How many nerves are present in humans?
Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.
The human nervous system is an incredibly complex network of nerves and cells that carries information throughout the body. It is estimated that there are approximately 100 billion nerves present in the human body, making it one of the most densely innervated systems in the world. Nerves play a vital role in everything from movement and sensation to thought and emotion. Without them, we would be unable to interact with our environment or process information about the world around us. The nervous system is constantly active, transmitting electrical impulses that allow us to perceive and respond to our surroundings. Given the enormous number of nerves present in the human body, it is no wonder that they play such a vital role in our lives.
