The axon growth cone contains two prominent actin structures: _____________ are composed of bundled F-actin, whereas _____________ are a meshwork of branched F-actin. Many axon guidance cues affect the actin cytoskeleton through their receptors and downstream effectors such as the _____________ Rho, Rac, and Cdc42. These molecules are activated by _____________ and inactivated by _____________. For example, in the context of ephrin-A to EphA _____________ signaling, a GEF called ephexin was shown to mediate growth cone _____________ by linking the EphA receptor to RhoA.
