Georgio instantly feels pain due to the message carried to his brain by myelinated axons. The message of the ache is carried by unmyelinated axons.
The myelinated axon is highly "insulated" axon that receives input and transmit impulse quickly.
The purpose of the naked axon with larger dendritic field which is called unmyelinated axon is to receive as much input as possible.
