2. What are nociceptors classified by?
2. Parent axon, stimulus
2 of 14
3. What are the parent axons? What kind of pain is asscocited with each
3. a delta – fine myelinated afferents: fast pain, sharp. C fibres- fine unmyelinated afferents: slow pain, burning

10. Where is substance P present? What is its role? Where is it released from?
10. Present in fine peripheral fibres. Role in central transmission . released from free nerve endings- vasodilation, mast cell degranulation, axon reflex
