Question

A-delta fibers : A) are small, myelinated fibers. B) transmit pain signals at a slower rate than C-fibers. C) typically transmit dull, aching pain. D) do not respond to mechanical pai

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Aδ fibers carry cold, pressure, and acute pain signals, and because they are thin (2 to 5 μm in diameter) and myelinated, they send impulses faster than unmyelinated C fibers, but more slowly than other, more thickly myelinated group A nerve fibers. Their conduction velocities are moderate.
