1. how did the conduction velocity in the B fiber compare with that in the A fiber?
2. How did the conduction velocity in the C fiber compare with that in the B fiber?
3. Why did you need to change the timescale on the oscilloscope for each axon?

The velocity of the B fiber was slower because it had a smaller diameter and less myelinated.

The conduction velocity of the C fiber was slower because it has no myelination and a smaller diameter.

Hi!

Last question wasn't answered: This is necessary in order to see the action potentials. The velocity changes so when it get very slow you need a longer time scale.
