Central Nervous System
Across
- 1. from the dorsal/posterior spinal cord
- 3. deals with muscle coordination, balance and eye/body movement coordination
- 6. responsible for food intake, thermal regulation, neuroendocrine system, suprachiasmatic nucleus (circadian rythm)and pineal gland
- 8. form myelin around axons in the PNS
- 12. secreted by the ependymal cells in the choroid plexus
- 14. deals with logic, analytic abilities, and language
- 15. fiber type that connects two areas on opposite sides
- 16. specializes in creativity and spacial perception
- 18. comprised of myelinated axons
- 20. where the right brain controls the left side of the body, for ex.
Down
- 2. convert plasma into cerebral spinal fluid
- 4. phagocytize invading organisms
- 5. form myelin around axons in the CNS
- 7. necessary for maintaining homeostasis
- 9. outermost portion of the cerebrum and highest level of neural processing
- 10. fiber type that connects two areas on the same side
- 11. made up partly of thalamus and hypothalamus and deals with learning, emotions, and behavior
- 13. mainly maintain the blood brain barrier
- 17. in the diencephalon responsible for sensory/motor intengration
- 19. from the ventral/anterior spinal cord
