The cell bodies of neurons controlling your feet are actually located in your spine. The cell body is where they make peptides such as the ones in this simulation. Their axons can be a meter long, traveling out to the tips of your toes (about 1,000 times as long as the 60 µm axon in the simulation). Do you think these neurons use diffusion to move peptides from the cell body to the axon tip? Explain your reasoning

Respuesta :

Answer:

No, since neurons use the retrograde and antegrade method to be able to transmit compounds, metabolites and neurotransmitters

Explanation:

This method is a mechanism that uses carriers as a transporter, which are transporter proteins along the axon in a retrograde way (from the axon to the soma) and anterograde (from the soma to the axon)
