What is the difference between Aβ fibres and Aδ/C fibres?
What is the difference between Aβ fibres and Aδ/C fibres?
- Aβ fibres carry non-painful information from mechanoreceptors while Aδ/C fibres carry information from nociceptors (correct)
- Aβ fibres are small while Aδ/C fibres are large
- Aβ fibres carry painful information while Aδ/C fibres carry non-painful information
- Aβ fibres are unmyelinated while Aδ/C fibres are myelinated
What is the function of nociceptors?
What is the function of nociceptors?
- To respond to strong stimuli that are harmful or potentially harmful to tissues (correct)
- To carry information from the periphery to the spinal cord
- To produce electrical impulses
