Chapter 3 - Structure of the Nervous System
Across
- 5. contains incoming (afferent) sensory fibers
- 8. opposite side of the body
- 10. important component of the motor system
- 13. larger than sulcus
- 15. towards the middle of the body, away from the side
- 16. sends and carries message to/from the brain
- 19. near or toward the head
- 20. ventral part of the midbrain
- 21. important part of the limbic system
- 24. towards the side of the body, away from the middle
- 25. slice is taken at the right angles to the neuraxis
- 26. controls the body's vegetative functions
- 29. responsible for cognition
- 32. also part of the limbic system that contains a set of nuclei
- 33. memory, keeping you awake, alertness
- 34. separated by sulci or fissures
- 35. Central Nervous System
- 37. major part of the nervous system
- 38. consists of two cerebral hemispheres
- 42. "toward the tail"
- 44. coordinates function related to breathing
- 45. slice parallel to the neuraxis and perpendicular to the ground
- 46. innermost layer of the meninges
- 47. layers of sheath that protects the brain
- 48. group of cell bodies
Down
- 1. for sensation
- 2. towards the belly
- 3. cerebrospinal fluid
- 4. "toward the beak"
- 6. involved in the body regulation, controls the anterior and posterior pituitary glands
- 7. smaller than fissure
- 9. surrounds the cerebral aqueduct
- 11. connects the brain to the spinal cord
- 12. responsible for blood pressure, heart rate an pulse rate
- 14. same side of the body
- 17. region of the brain that includes thalamus and hypothalamus
- 18. lobe that's responsible for hearing
- 22. Peripheral Nervous System
- 23. responsible for the movement of the body
- 27. sleep-wake cycle
- 28. imagine line from the front of the brain to the bottom
- 29. fiber bundle that connects the hippocampus
- 30. dorsal part of the midbrain
- 31. contains medulla oblongata
- 36. outmost layer that protects the brain
- 39. divides brain into symmetrical halves
- 40. outermost layer of the meninges
- 41. for vision
- 43. "toward the back"
- 45. controls the movement of the skeletal muscles
