| Sensory fibre | Myelinated axons | Diameter (µm) | Conduction velocity (m/s) | General Function |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aα | Yes | 13-20 | 80-120 | muscle spindle primary endings, golgi tendon organs, touch, and alpha motor neurons. |
| Aβ | Yes | 6-12 | 33-75 | Discriminative sensitivity to mechanical stimuli (touch, vibration) |
| Aγ | Yes | 4-8 | 15-40 | Touch, pressure, and gamma motor neurons. |
