If a neurone is stimulated in the middle of its axon, an action potential will pass both ways along it to the synapses at each end, however the action potential will only pass one across the synapse at one end. Why?
Only one end can produce neurotransmitter and so this end alone can create an AP in the neurone on the opposite side of the synapse. Other end has no neurotransmitter.
