What is the main function of transduction in the context of pain transmission?
What is the main function of transduction in the context of pain transmission?
- Conversion of electrical signals into noxious stimuli
- Localization of rapid and sharp pain
- Generation of electrical signals from noxious stimuli (correct)
- Propagation of action potentials along the axon
Which type of nerve fibers carries rapid and sharp pain that is well localized?
Which type of nerve fibers carries rapid and sharp pain that is well localized?
- Aδ fibers (correct)
- C fibers
- B fibers
- D fibers
What distinguishes Aδ fibers from C fibers in terms of conduction velocity?
What distinguishes Aδ fibers from C fibers in terms of conduction velocity?
- Aδ fibers have a slower conduction velocity than C fibers
- C fibers transmit sharp pain signals, while Aδ fibers transmit dull pain
- Aδ fibers have a faster conduction velocity than C fibers (correct)
- C fibers are unmyelinated, while Aδ fibers are myelinated
