Physiology General 15dd2258 If a single spinal nerve is cut, the area of tactile loss is always greater than the area of loss of painful sensations, because A Tactile information is carried by myelinated fast conducting fibres B Tactile receptors adapt quickly C Degree of overlap of fibres carrying tactile sensation is much less D In the primary sensory cortex, tactile sensation is represented on a larger area High-Yield Explanation There is much overlapping between pain carrying fibers as compared to touch.
