Hello Ram Mohan Nayak
As i know about nerve fibres the diameters and numbers of fibres have been measured throughout the peripheral nervous system. The nerves of the muscles that act upon the outside world contain few fibres, having very large and medium-sized fibres but no very small ones. Thus the muscles of the head receive 6000 fibres, the largest of 30 μm diameter.
