Across
- 3. a bodily tissue, structure, or organ (such as a gland or muscle) that becomes active in response to stimulation.
- 5. system: The glands and organs that make hormones and release them directly into the blood so they can travel to tissues and organs all over the body.
- 6. glands: An organ that makes hormones that are released directly into the blood and travel to tissues and organs all over the body.
- 11. The chemical changes that take place in a cell or an organism.
- 13. membrane-bound organelle found in the cytoplasm of almost all eukaryotic cells.
- 16. neurons: neuronal cells located in the central nervous system (CNS) controlling a variety of downstream targets.
- 17. a biological catalyst and is almost always a protein.
- 18. process resulting from random motion of molecules by which there is a net flow of matter from a region of high concentration .
Down
- 1. portion of a nerve cell (neuron) that carries nerve impulses away from the cell body.
- 2. a set of instructions for making or preparing something, especially a food dish: a recipe for a cake. A medical prescription.
- 4. a self-regulating process by which a living organism can maintain internal stability while adjusting to changing external conditions

- 8. an area of the brain that produces hormones that control: Body temperature, Heart rate, Hunger, Mood.
- 9. a molecule that an enzyme reacts with.
- 10. nervous system (CNS): the body's processing centre.
- 12. the finger-like cells present on the end of a neuron.
- 14. body: the spherical part of the neuron that contains the nucleus and connects to the dendrites, which bring information into the neuron, and the axon, which sends information to other neurons.
- 15. chemical substances that act like messenger molecules in the body.
