a. Small-diameter peripheral nerves transmit noxious stimuli to the CNS, and large-diameter peripheral nerves carry non-pain information and can inhibit nociceptor transmission in the spinal cord. b. Sensations of all types are carried on the same size peripheral nerves. Stimulating nerve fibers with other sensations will block pain. c. Pain stimuli are carried by large-diameter peripheral nerves. The gates on these nerves can be closed by administering analgesics. d. Both small- and large-diameter peripheral nerves carry pain impulses. Blocking small fibers with other stimuli will reduce the speed of pain impulse transmission.
