How would blocking retrograde transport in an axon affect the activity of a neuron?
A) The neuron would not be able to produce neurotransmitters.
B) The neuron would not be able to produce action potentials.
C) The cell body would not be able to export products to the axon terminals.
D) The cell body would not be able to respond to changes in the distal end of the axon.
E) The neuron would be unable to depolarize when stimulated.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Retrograde transport in an axon is responsible for carrying signals and materials from the axon terminals back to the cell body. Blocking this transport would prevent the cell body from receiving signals or materials from the distal end of the axon, affecting its ability to respond to changes or damage at the axon's distal end.
