Neuronal morphology - Axon
3 important questions on Neuronal morphology - Axon
Why to axons have their own mitochondria?
That’s because they need to transfer a lot of information’s which requires a lot of information.
What is the axonal bouton?
This is a widening of the axon mostly on the terminal ends of the axons, where the neuronal synaptic vesicles are located and is typically the sites where synapses with other neurons are found.
How are proteins transferred through the axons?
First, they are produced in the nucleolus, there the proteins are packed in vesicles. The motor proteins can hold the vesicles, the motor proteins move along the microtubule in the axon to move the proteins.
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
Remember faster, study better. Scientifically proven.
