1 -- The pain from deep body structures, such as muscles and viscera, is primarily transmitted by C fibers, producing diffuse burning or aching sensations. A-delta fibers are myelinated and transmit impulses rapidly. They produce what is called fast pain or first pain that is sharp, well-defined pain typically seen from cuts, electric shocks, or the impact of a blow. Endorphins and dynorphins are endogenous opioids that block the transmission of painful impulses.
