| The 16 types of afferents from the hand can be grouped into what functional groups? |
1). Cutaneous mechanoreceptors, 2). proprioceptors, 3). lightly myelinated and unmyelinated afferents that respond to warming and cooling, and 4). lightly myelinated and unmyelinated afferents that repond to noxious and pruritic stimuli.
|
| What is the I-IV and A-C classification for the primary spindle afferent axon type? |
Ia / A-alpha
|
| What is the I-IV and A-C classification for the golgi tendon organ afferent axon type? |
Ib / A-alpha
|
| What is the I-IV and A-C classification for the cutaneous mechanoreceptive afferent axon type? |
II / A-beta
|
| What is the I-IV and A-C classification for the "cold" thermoreceptive / pricking pain afferent axon type? |
III / A-delta
|
| What is the I-IV and A-C classification for the "warm" thermoreceptive / burning pain afferent axon type? |
IV / C
|
| What fibers from the A-C classification are myelinated? |
All of the A fibers (I-III).
|
| What fibers from the A-C classification are unmyelinated? |
The C fiber (IV).
|
| What is the diameter of A-alpha (Ia/Ib) fibers? |
12-20 microns
|
| What is the diameter of A-beta (II) fibers? |
7-12 microns
|
| What is the diameter of A-delta (III) fibers? |
2-6 microns
|
| What is the diameter of C fibers? |
.3-1.5 microns
|
| What is the conduction velocity of A-alpha (Ia/Ib) fibers? |
72-120 m/s
|
| What is the conduction velocity of C (IV) fibers? |
.5-1.2 m/s
|
| What are Ia/Aα fibers sensitive to? |
Innervate primary spindle afferents. Muscle length and velocity of contraction.
|
| What are II/Aβ fibers sensitive to? |
Those innervating secondary spindle afferents are sensitive to muscle length. Those innervating joint receptors are sensitive to joint extremes.
|
| What are Aδ fibers sensitive to? |
Cold temperatures and pricking pain. Lightly myelinated. Seems to be temporal code (bursting used for cold temperatures).
|
| What are C fibers sensitive to? |
Warm temperatures and burning pain. Unmyelinated.
|
| Merkel cells detect what? Connected to what afferents? |
Static and dynamic skin deformation. SAI afferents.
|
| Meissner corpuscles detect what? Connected to what afferents? |
Dynamic skin deformation. RAI afferents.
|
| Ruffini corpuscles detect what? Connected to what afferents? |
Static and dynamic skin deformation and particularly skin stretch. SAII afferents.
|
| Pacinian corpuscles detect what? Connected to what afferents? |
High frequency vibrations. RAII afferents.
|
| "Cold afferents" are? |
Aδ/III fibers.
|
| "Warm afferents" are? |
C/IV fibers.
