Aδ and C fibers are afferent nerve fibers of nociceptors that conduct sensory information to the central nerve system. The conduction velocity of Aδ fibers is ~15 m/s, in contrast with the much slower conduction speed of C fibers, at ~1 m/s. As a result of this difference, a single and intense cutaneous nociceptive stimulus will cause a double sensation: an initial Aδ-fiber-related pricking ...
