Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

C fibers are unmyelinated and slow conducting fibers that are responsible for the transmission of dull, persistent pain. This type of pain is consistent with the dull pain Ben is experiencing in his nose days after his injury. A-delta fibers, on the other hand, are myelinated and fast-conducting fibers that are responsible for the transmission of sharp, acute pain. B-gamma fibers are associated with muscle spindles and V fibers are not a type of pain-sensory neuron.
