What do neural transmission in the slow pain pathway depend on
A) pulsating neural impulses called pain spindles
B) opponent process receptors in the area surrounding the injury
C) thicker, myelinated neurons called A-delta fibres
D) thin, unmyelinated neurons called C fibres
Slow Pain Pathway
The neural pathway in the body that is responsible for transmitting chronic, dull, aching pain sensations to the brain.
Unmyelinated Neurons
Unmyelinated neurons are nerve cells that lack a myelin sheath around their axon, resulting in slower transmission of nerve impulses compared to myelinated neurons.
A-Delta Fibres
Fast-conducting nerve fibers involved in the transmission of pain and temperature sensations.
