Across
  1. 2. These motor neurons originate in the central nervous system and project their axons to skeletal muscles
  2. 8. Brings information towards the cell body
  3. 10. This neuron sends information between sensory and motor neurons
  4. 11. these motor neurons are located in the spinal cord, and their terminals extend all the way to the muscle fibers and tendons.
Down
  1. 1. these neurons can reach up to several feet in length
  2. 3. This neuron sends information away from the CNS to muscles and glands
  3. 4. This type of neuron sends information from sensory receptors TOWARDS the central nervous system
  4. 5. these motor neurons are either located in the cerebral cortex of the brain or the brain stem
  5. 6. Take information away from the cell body
  6. 7. The nervous system has an automatic response mechanism that does not involve upper neurons
  7. 9. The human brain has approximately 86 billion of this type of cell
