|
axonal transport system does what |
axonal transport system moves substances |
|
slow axonal flow |
(for growth & regeneration)
movement in one direction only --away from cell body movement at 1-5mm per day from flow of axoplasm |
|
fast axonal flow |
(for endo-excosytosis)
moves organelles & materials along surface of microtubules
at 200-400 mm per day
transports in either direction
for use (secretory vescicles) or for recycling in cell body |
