Physiology

Sensory Fibres

  • Conduction velocity of nerve fibres is increased by
    • Myelination
    • Increased diameter
    • Increased temperature
    • Increased external sodium ions
    • Decreased serum calcium
  • A-alpha fibres: muscle spindle afferents and skeletal muscle efferents
    • Largest diameter of any nerve fibre
  • A-gamma fibres: intrafusal fibres of…
