Q

Describe unmyelinated & myelinated fibers?

A
  • Unmyelinated; C-fibers, burning pain from heat & pressure, travel at <2m/s.
  • Myelinated: Aβ & Aδ fibers, conduct heat, mechanical, chemical pain signals. Aδ fibers conduct fast heat pain. Travels >2m/s

Q

Explain the Gate control theory of pain?

A

The gate is open & Aδ (small diameter, myelinated) & C fibers (unmyelinated) send pain signals. Then Aβ fibers (large diameter, myelinated: faster) deliver information about pressure and touch (rubbing) overriding Aδ signals.
