Anterograde axoplasmic transport refers to the process of transporting substances from the soma to the terminal buttons at the end of the axon. Retrograde axoplasmic transport, on the other hand, refers to the process of transporting substances from the terminal buttons back to the soma. Systemic axoplasmic transport, peripheral axoplasmic transport, and anterograde somatoplasmic transport are not commonly used terms in neuroscience.
