[{'content': 'A person is able to sense pain and temperature normally. Which of the following type of nerve fiber is involved in carrying pain and temperature? \nSelect and explain. \nA. A alpha, B. A beta, C. A gamma, D. A delta', 'role': 'user'}, {'content': "Answer: D \nExplanation: A delta nerve fiber is involved in transmitting pain and temperature in the body. It's conduction velocity is 12-30 m/s. A alpha fiber is involved in carrying proprioception and somato motor sensation. It's conduction velocity is 70-120 m/s. A beta fiber is involved in carrying touch and pressure sensation. It's conduction velocity is 30- 70m/s. A gamma acts as motor to the muscle spindle. It's conduction velocity is 15 - 30m/s.
