In the mammalian [[peripheral nervous system]], warmth receptors are thought to be unmyelinated C-[[fibre]]s (low conduction velocity), while those responding to cold have both C-fibers and thinly myelinated A delta [[fiber]]s (faster conduction velocity) thermoreceptor.txt Last modified: 2024/06/07 02:59by 127.0.0.1
