Axonal transport is
A) bidirectional, moving materials from the neuronal cell body toward the axon terminals, and from axon terminals out to other, distant cell bodies.
B) bidirectional, moving materials from the neuronal cell body toward the axon terminals, and from axon terminals back to the cell body.
C) unidirectional, moving materials from the neuronal cell body toward the axon terminals only.
D) unidirectional, moving materials from axon terminals to the cell body only.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Axonal transport is bidirectional, meaning that materials can move from the neuronal cell body toward the axon terminals, and also from the axon terminals back to the cell body. This enables neurons to transport necessary proteins, enzymes, and other substances to and from the synaptic terminals, helping to maintain neuronal health and function.
