Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Slow pain, also known as chronic or persistent pain, is carried by small, unmyelinated fibers called C fibers, not large, myelinated fibers. This type of pain is poorly localized, occurs for a longer time than fast pain, and produces a dull, aching, burning sensation. Its occurrence is due to the stimulation of polymodal nociceptors.
