Which Fast Nerve Fibers Does Nociception Travel?

by

Which Fast Nerve Fibers Does Nociception Travel? Conduction of noxious information via A delta and C fibers. A delta fibers (group III fibers) are 2-5 mm in diameter, myelinated, have a fast conduction velocity (5-40 meters/sec), and carry information mainly from the nociceptive-mechanical or mechanothermal-specific nociceptors. Which type of nerve fiber will transmit fast pain?

Does A Nerve Impulse Travel Faster With Myelin Or Without It?

Does A Nerve Impulse Travel Faster With Myelin Or Without It? Does a nerve impulse travel faster with myelin or without it? By jumping from node to node, the impulse can travel much more quickly than if it had to travel along the entire length of the nerve fibre. Myelinated nerves can transmit a signal
