Ch. 11: Intro to the Central Nervous System
Across
- 3. Outer layer composed of nerve cell bodies
- 4. Increases alertness by stimulating the CNS
- 7. Responsible for control of muscle movement
- 9. Responsible for higher intellectual abilities
- 14. Involved with emotional and behavioral response of body
- 15. Network of nerve fibers that travel throughout brain and spinal cord
- 17. Recording of the brains electrical activity
- 19. Responsible for vision functioning
- 20. Processes inputs from sensory receptors
- 21. Lack of external stimuli decreasing alertness
Down
- 1. Found behind brainstem
- 2. Comprises the midbrain, pons and medulla oblongata
- 5. Travel from brain to peripheral organs and muscle
- 6. Travel to brain from peripheral body
- 8. Responsible for sensory sensations of touch
- 10. Stimulated by external stimuli to increase alertness
- 11. Symptoms of this disease includes tremors, muscular rigidity, movement problems
- 12. Comprises the thalamus and hypothalamus
- 13. Inner layer composed of myelinated axons of neurons
- 16. Involved in hearing, learning, memory and language
- 18. Is a collection of nerve axons travelling from brain
