Question

When substances are transported from the terminal buttons at the end of the axon back to the soma, this process is referred to as ____________.a. peripheral axoplasmic transportb. anterograde somatoplasmic transportc. retrograde axoplasmic transportd. anterograde axoplasmic transport

Answer 1

retrograde axoplasmic transport

Step-by-step explanation:

The retrograde axoplasmic transport is a type of fast axonal transport that moves the substances at a fast rate by using proteins. These proteins transport the substances along the surfaces of the microtubules of the cytoskeleton of nerve cells. The retrograde axoplasmic transport moves the substances towards the soma or cell body from the terminal ends of the axon. This type of axonal transport mostly moves the substances that are to be recycled or broken down.
