Axoplasm contains both the mRNA and ribonuclearprotein required for axonal protein synthesis.
2.
In axoplasmic transport, materials are carried through the axoplasm to or from the soma.
3.
Axoplasm is integral to the overall function of neurons in propagating action potential through the axon.
4.
Furthermore, axoplasm contains the pre-synaptic vesicles of neurotransmitter which are eventually released into the synaptic cleft.
5.
The amount of axoplasm in the axon is important to the cable like properties of the axon in cable theory.
6.
Similarly, in an axon, some of the current traveling longitudinally through the axoplasm will escape through the membrane.
7.
These axons were mainly studied to understand action potential, and axoplasm was soon understood to be important in membrane potential.
8.
Intake of acetylcholine in axoplasm is prevented and the presynaptic nerve releases more acetylcholine into the synapse that initially causes bradycardia.
9.
Axoplasm has a different composition of organelles and other materials than that found in the neuron's soma ) or dendrites.
10.
This understanding of the relationship of axoplasm regarding transport and electrical potential is critical in the understanding of the overall brain functions.
