25
three major systems of axon guidance
motor neurons, commissural neurons, and optic system
26
whose axons travel from
the spinal cord to a specific muscle
motor neurons
27
whose axons must
cross the midline plane of the embryo to
innervate targets on the opposite side of the
central nervous system
commissural neurons
28
where axons originating
in the retina must find their way back into the
brain.
optic system
29
three steps of axonal specificity
pathways selection, target selection, address selection
30
The axons travel
along a route that leads to a particular region
of the embryo.
pathways selection
31
The axons, once they
reach the correct area, recognize and bind to
a set of cells with which they may form
stable connections.
target selection
32
The initial patterns are
refined such that each axon binds to a
small subset of its possible targets.
address selection
33
Neurons at the ventrolateral margin of the
vertebrate neural tube become motor
neurons, and one of their first steps toward
maturation involves ______________
target specificity
34
Motor neurons in similar places have similar targets

● MMC » Axial musculature
● HMC » Intercostal musculature
● PGC » Sympathetic ganglia
35
The ___________ and ____________, are most
well-known membrane proteins (but not
exclusively) for their role as repellent
guidance cues during the patterning of
axonal anatomy
ephrins and semaphorins
36
The proteins of the semaphorin-3 family, also
known as ______________, are secreted proteins
and collapse the growth cones of axons
originating in the dorsal root ganglia.
collapsins
37
- they coordinate right and left motor activities
- their axons begin growing ventrally down the side of the neural tube
- About two-thirds of the way down,
however, the axons change direction and
project through the ventrolateral neuron
area of the neural tube toward the floor
plate.
- Two systems involved in attracting the axons
of dorsal commissural neurons to the ventral
midline.
Commissural neurons

by an assay developed to screen for
diffusible molecules that might guide the
axons of commissural neurons
