Nociceptors, which detect painful stimuli, have axons that conduct signals relatively slowly as they are lightly myelinated or unmyelinated. There are three main classes of nociceptors in skin: Aδ mechanosensitive nociceptors, Aδ mechanothermal nociceptors, and polymodal nociceptors associated with C fibers.
