How do C fibers course?

Peripherally in the pulp
Centrally in the pulp horn
Within the dentin layer
Centrally in the pulp storm

The correct answer is: Centrally in the pulp storm

C fibers are a type of nerve fibers that are involved in pain signaling. They run centrally in the pulp storm, which is a part of the dental pulp located in the center of the tooth. This is where the nerve supply of the tooth is located. While they may also be present in other areas, they primarily course centrally in the pulp storm. Therefore, options A, B, and C are incorrect because they describe locations in the tooth that are not related to the central pathway of C fibers.
