d. The overshoot of its action potential
e. The activity of its sodium-potassium pump

C?-conduction velocity

[ArchivalUser]

c is right

[ArchivalUser]

wow..I too chose C

[ArchivalUser]

think it's c

[ArchivalUser]

yes id go with C too...

type B and C> type Adelta > type A beta n gamma > type A alpha in order of sensitivity to blockade in local anesthetics based on their firing rates.

Smallest fibres have higher firing rates
