What is the significance of the high-speed transmission of signals from the brain and spinal cord to the organs?

The faster the transmission of signals from the brain and spinal cord to organs and tissues, the better for organisms. In our body, signals travel through nerve cells in a fraction of a second. This allows you to quickly respond to external threats, have reflexes and, in principle, live normally. If signals are not transmitted through the nerve tissues, then the person is paralyzed, since no commands are sent to the muscles. If, for some reason, signals are lost during transmission, then the brain may process them incorrectly, but this is quite rare.
