Anatomy The Nervous System
Across
- 3. Axons with myelin sheaths
- 6. Scattered throughout CNS they help forms scars in areas of damage
- 10. Provide inner linings that enclose spaces in the brain and spinal cord.
- 13. Surrounds the myelin sheath
- 14. Narrow gaps between schwann cells
- 16. The small space between a neuron and the cell with which it communicates.
- 17. Part of a neuron that sends information away from the cell in the form of impulses.
- 18. Axons that lack myelin sheaths
- 19. Part of the peripheral nervous system under voluntary control.
- 21. Part of the peripheral nervous system that is under involuntary control.
Down
- 1. Found along axons they provide insulating layers called myelin sheaths.
- 2. Rounded area of a typical neuron.
- 4. Chemicals released by the conduction of electrical signals
- 5. The main functional unit of the nervous system.
- 7. Information in the form of electrical changes that is passed from one neuron to another along neural pathways.
- 8. Part of the nervous system consisting of the brain and spinal cord.
- 9. Nervous tissue that provides physical support, insulation, and nutrients to neurons.
- 11. Produce the myelin sheaths around axons of myelinated neurons in the PNS.
- 12. Part of the nervous system that consists of nerves.
- 15. Part of neuron that receives input.
- 20. Found between neurons and blood vessels they provide structural support.
