Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A-delta fibers are a type of fast-conducting (delta) fibers found in the peripheral nervous system, which are responsible for transmitting sharp, pricking pain sensations. They are found in the skin, muscle, and other tissues, and are activated by noxious stimuli such as heat, cold, and mechanical pressure.
