Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sharp and intense pain is typically transmitted through C fibers or thinly myelinated alpha-delta fibers. However, alpha-delta fibers are faster than C fibers and hence transmit sharp pain signals faster than C fibers. B fibers are responsible for transmitting the autonomic nervous system signals and alpha-beta fibers are responsible for transmitting touch and pressure sensations.
