  6. 17. natural opiate-like neurotransmitters that are linked to pain control and pleasure
  7. 18. Neurons that carry outgoing information from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles and glands
  8. 21. Body's network consisting of all the never cells, in the CNS and the PNS
  9. 23. X-ray photos that show a slice of the brain's structure
  10. 24. bundled axons that form neural cables connecting the CNS with sensory organs, muscles, and glands
  11. 26. Neuron extension that passes messages through its branches
  12. 27. Covering of the axons on some neurons
  13. 28. Under the influence of the hypothalamus, regulates growth and controls other endocrine glands
  14. 29. a neurotransmitters reabsorption by the sending neutron
  15. 31. a technique that uses magnetic fields and waves to show the image of soft tissue
  16. 34. Neural system linked to automatic survival needs, under the thalamus, and helps govern the endocrine system

  2. 2. feel good drug that affects mood, hunger, arousal, etc.
  3. 3. Nerve network that travels from the brainstem through the thalamus, plays a role in controlling arousal
  4. 4. Technique for revealing blood flow and brain activity
  5. 6. Pair of endocrine glands that sit above the kidneys and secrete hormones that help arouse the body in times of stress
