WHAT DOES AXOPLASM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

axoplasm

Axoplasm

Axoplasm is the cytoplasm within the axon of a neuron. Neural processes contain about 99.6% of the cell’s cytoplasm, and 99.7% of that is in the axons. Axoplasm has a different composition of organelles and other materials than that found in the neuron's cell body or dendrites. In axoplasmic transport, materials are carried through the axoplasm to or from the soma. The electrical resistance of the axoplasm, called axoplasmic resistance, is one aspect of a neuron's cable properties, because it affects the rate of travel of an action potential down an axon. If the axoplasm contains many molecules that are not electrically conductive, it will slow the travel of the potential because it will cause more ions to flow across the axolemma than through the axoplasm.

Definition of axoplasm in the English dictionary

The definition of axoplasm in the dictionary is the fluid substance found in the axon of a neuron which surrounds the fibrils.
