Traditional lap pools are about 10 feet wide, though widths between 8 and 10 feet are common. (In competition pools, swim lanes are 2.5 meters wide, or about 8.2 feet.) You don't want to go too narrow with a lap pool.
The number of neurons in the brain varies dramatically from species to species. One estimate (published in 1988) puts the human brain at about 100 billion (10 11) neurons and 100 trillion (10 14) synapses.
Types of Neurons (Nerve Cells). The human body is made up of trillions of cells. Cells of the nervous system, called nerve cells or neurons, are specialized to carry messages through an electrochemical process. The human brain has approximately 100 billion neurons.Remember that 1 micron is equal to one thousandth of a millimeter!). Neurons are similar to other cells in the body because: 1  Neurons are surrounded by a cell membrane. 2  Neurons have a nucleus that contains genes.
