axoplasmic flow

Axoplasmic refers to anything relating to or occurring within the axoplasm, which is the cytoplasm of an axon. Axons are the long, slender projections of nerve cells, or neurons, that transmit electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body.123

Axoplasmic transport is the process by which essential molecules and nutrients are moved along the axon. This transport is crucial for maintaining the health and function of the neuron. If an axon is severed, the part farthest from the cell body is deprived of this flow and begins to deteriorate. This process is vital for the transmission of information within the nervous system.32
