Across
  1. 3. disease where cells do not properly take up glucose
  2. 5. brain relay station that routes sensory input to cortex
  3. 6. long neuron extension that carries impulses away from cell body
  4. 8. hormone producing gland sitting on top of each kidney
  5. 10. involuntary muscle type in walls of organs like intestines and blood vessels
  6. 11. limbic structure essential for forming long term memories
  7. 12. hormone that lowers blood glucose by helping cells take up sugar
  8. 14. chemical signal released by glands to regulate body activity
  9. 16. short neuron extension that receives incoming signals
  10. 17. organ that makes digestive juices and insulin
  11. 18. voluntary muscle type that attaches to bones
  12. 20. place where two bones meet for movement or stability
Down
  1. 1. brain region that maintains posture balance and smooth movement
  2. 2. condition where bone weakening occurs as reabsorption outpaces deposition
  3. 4. involuntary muscle type found only in the heart
  4. 7. skeleton that forms the central axis of the body
  5. 9. individual nerve cell that conducts electrical signals
  6. 13. junction where an axon terminal communicates with another cell
  7. 15. fatty insulating sheath around axons that speeds signal conduction
  8. 19. neck gland that increases metabolic rate
