NERVOUS AND CHEMICAL COORDINATION, AND HUMAN NERVOUS SYSTEM, MOVEMENT
Across
- 8. serves as an integration point for sensory impulses
- 9. Impulses in this system return the body to normal after an emergency has occurred.
- 12. Influence the development of the T-lymphocytes of the immune system
- 15. Promote secondary male characteristics. Testosterone is an important androgen
- 16. acts as a bridge between various portions of the brain
- 19. Stimulates contractions in the muscles of the uterus during birth
- 22. completes the maturation of the follicle and stimulates the formation of the corpus luteum
- 23. Stimulates water reabsorption in the kidneys. It is also called vasopressin
- 24. Promotes body growth by accelerating protein synthesis
- 25. It consists of a collection of crossing nerve tracts and is the site of the reticular formation, a group of fibers that arouse the forebrain when something unusual happens
- 27. a hormone that regulates the rate of metabolism in the body
- 28. synthesizes hormones for storage in the pituitary gland
- 29. Controls the secretion of hormones from the adrenal glands
- 30. the swelling at the tip of the brain that serves as the passageway for nerves extending to and from the brain
- 31. Control secretions of hormones from the thyroid gland
- 33. serves as a coordinating center for motor activity; that is, it coordinates muscle contractions
Down
- 1. Stimulates production of the pigment melanin
- 2. regulates calcium metabolism in the body by increasing calcium reabsorption in the kidneys and by increasing the uptake of calcium from the digestive system
- 3. Stimulates the breakdown of glycogen to glucose in the liver.
- 4. stimulates the development of a follicle, which contains the egg cell; in males, the hormone stimulates sperm production
- 5. Increases heart rate, blood pressure, and the blood supply to skeletal muscles
- 6. Impulses propagated in this system prepare the body for an emergency.
- 7. a collection of structures that ring the edge of the brain and apparently function as centers of emotion.
- 10. a protein that promotes the passage of glucose molecules into the body cells and regulates glucose metabolism
- 11. consists of the hindbrain,midbrain, forebrain
- 13. encourage the development of secondary female characteristics
- 14. Regulate mating behaviors and day-night cycles
- 15. Control mineral metabolism in the body
- 17. A white cord of tissue passing through the bony tunnel made by the vertebrae
- 18. regulates the level of calcium in the blood
- 20. Intensifies the effects of epinephrine
- 21. Carries impulses from the external environment and the senses.
- 26. Promotes breast development and milk secretion in females
- 32. contains creases and furrows called convolutions that permit the cerebral hemisphere to accommodate more than 10 billion cells
