Definitions:

A-delta Fibers

A-delta Fibers are fast-conducting nerve fibers that transmit sharp, immediate pain to the brain, playing a crucial role in the body's pain response system.

Myelinated

Refers to nerve fibers covered by a myelin sheath, which increases the speed at which electrical impulses are transmitted along the nerve cells.

C Fibers

Small-diameter nerve fibers that provide information concerning slow, diffuse, lingering pain.

Unmyelinated

Referring to nerve fibers that lack a myelin sheath, which often results in slower signal transmission compared to myelinated fibers.
