Practice question
Question
The functional connection between the cell body of neuron and its axonal terminal is achieved by axonal transport. Some features of axonal transport are suggested in the following statements: A. Orthograde transport occurs from the axonal terminal to the cell body. B. Orthograde transport has two components - fast axonal transport and slow axonal transport. C. The rate of orthograde fast axonal transport is higher than that of retrograde transport. D. The molecular motor dynein is required for orthograde transport while kinesin is molecular motor for retrograde transport. Which one of the following options represents the combination of correct statements?
Explanation
In the functional connection between the cell body, B and C represents established outcome. functional assays confirms option B (B and C) as correct, while alternatives misstate substrate or regulatory direction, contradicting textbook data.
