Across
  1. 2. arouses/excites the body
  2. 4. efferent, CNS to muscles
  3. 7. receives information from skin, sense organs.
  4. 9. internal organs' glands and muscles
  5. 11. sleep, facial expressions, above medulla
  6. 12. its neurons connect CNS to body
  7. 13. calms body
  8. 15. brain and spinal cord
  9. 17. magnetic fields/radioactivity for tissue
  10. 19. measure glucose activity
  11. 20. thin, transfers impulses
  12. 24. naturally produced painkillers, relief
  13. 26. emotions
  14. 29. coordination, movement, balance
  15. 33. processes visual information
  16. 34. lower part of the brain. Associated with reflexive/automatic behavior.
  17. 35. arousal and attention, scan/filter
  18. 36. fatty layer, speeds up neural impulse
Down
  1. 1. largest part of the brain, controls thinking (thoughts/reasons)
  2. 2. skeletal muscles
  3. 3. distinguishes textures and shape
  4. 5. drives, motivations
  5. 6. relays,alertness, consciousness
  6. 7. afferent, sensory to CNS
  7. 8. voluntary movements, opposite sides of the body
  8. 10. above pons, transfers sensory information to main part of the brain
  9. 14. emotions + drives (hippocampus, hypothalamus, amygdala)
  10. 16. allows neurons to communicate
  11. 18. most influential gland, hypothalamus
  12. 21. CNS neurons, help motor/signal neurons
  13. 22. decision-making, cognitive functioning
  14. 23. regulates mood, sleep, appetite, body temperature. Deficiency = Depression, Excess = OCD/Mania
  15. 25. records electrical brain activity
  16. 27. activates motor neurons and skeletal muscles. Deficiency -> Alzheimer’s
  17. 28. voluntary movement and pleasurable emotions. Deficiency = Parkinson’s, Excess = Schizophrenia
  18. 30. breathing, heart-rate,blood pressure; brain stem
  19. 31. memory, learning, mood change. Deficiency = Depression
  20. 32. learning, memory, under the limbic system
