autonomic neuropathy
Function of A beta nerve fiber
tactile, vibration
Function of A delta nerve fiber
pain (fast, well localized), cold
Function of C nerve fiber
pain (delayed, poorly localized), heat
Mention the small diameter fibers
A delta and C
Mention the big diameter fiber
A beta
Neurons with multiple inputs are called
Wide Dynamic Range Neurons (WDRn)
Another way to know the autonomic neuropathy is
treatment induced neuropathy
Distal Symmetric Polyneuropathy affect
the small fibers of the NS
