Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dull and aching pain is typically transmitted along C fibers, which are unmyelinated and slower-conducting nerve fibers that transmit dull, aching, and persistent pain signals. A-delta fibers are myelinated and transmit sharp, stabbing pain signals. B and D fibers are not typically involved in pain transmission.
