Anatomy chapter 9- MS
Across
- 3. special sensory organs
- 5. two large masses of gray matter/ relay station for incoming sensory impulses
- 9. covers the outside of the hemispheres of the brain
- 13. second largest portion of the brain
- 15. visual
- 18. protects the brain and spinal cord as a shock absorbers
- 19. rapid irregular low voltage brain waves in sleep
- 21. the membranes that cover and protect the spinal cord and brain
- 22. auditory
- 24. consists primarily of white matter/ nerve pathway of the cerebral hemisphere
- 25. furrows on the cerebellum and increase gray matter
- 26. complex nerve junctions
Down
- 1. ridges or grooves of the cerebral cortex
- 2. the H-shaped center of the spinal cord and cerebrum
- 4. larger and more complex than the spinal cord
- 6. link between the nervous and endocrine system/ controls sleep
- 7. lowest part of the brain stem/ controls the reflects activity
- 8. cranial opening in the base of the skull
- 9. sleep/wake cycle within 24 hours
- 10. scientific name for the brain
- 11. interconnected cavities continuous with the spinal cord
- 12. two horns toward the rear of vertebrae
- 14. two horns toward the front of vertebrae
- 16. language and mathematics/ sensory and visual information
- 17. "home to our personality"/ problem solving and memory
- 20. largest portion of the brain; coordinates smooth movements
- 23. consists primarily of white matter/ located above the medulla
