I have finished the lab but am stuck on the last 3 questions in the activity 8.

5. What is the relationship between nerve size and conduction velocity? What are the physiological reasons for this relationship?
I know that the relationship is the larger the nerve the faster the velocity, but I need help with the physiological reasons

6. Based on the results, what is your conclusion regarding the effects of myelination on conduction velocity? What are the physiological reasons for your conclusion?
Myelinated nerves have a faster velocity that unmyelinated nerves.I need help with the physiological reasons

7. What are the evolutionary advantages achieved by the myelination of neurons?

Thank you for the help!
