Large diameter nerve fibers conduct impulses much faster than small diameter fibers?
No, they do not. Large nerve fibers have a larger diameter than small nerve fibers as the name suggests, but they are also extremely well insulated with Myelin Sheath that makes them transmit electrical signals very fast. "A" fibers represent this type of large nerve fibers. Small nerve fibers are smaller in diameter and there are two types, "B" & "C". B has less insulation than A, so it transmits less faster. C however, is not insulated at all and even though it has about the same diameter as B, it transmits electrical signals much more slowly.
