Expert Solution
Step 1 Introduction on Nerve fibers:

A nerve is basically the primary structure of the peripheral nervous system that encloses the axons of peripheral neurons and provides a structured pathway that supports function of neuron. It consists of many structures including axons, glycocalyx, endoneurial fluid, endoneurium, perineurium, and epineurium and are found to be bundled together into groups called fascicles, and each fascicle is wrapped in a layer of connective tissue sheath. Nerve fibers can be classified as A, B and C and A type fibers can be further classified into alpha, beta, gamma and delta.
