Across
  1. 1. the electrical change of the membrane potential that makes the electrical charge more positive
  2. 4. part of the brain that is used to maintain balance in the body
  3. 7. the type of nervous system that prepares the body for activeness
  4. 8. the lobe in the brain that is used for overall sensory input and contains the somatosensory cortex
  5. 9. the lobe in the brain that contains components used for deep thinking, and speaking, and contains the primary motor cortex
  6. 10. the electrical change of the membrane potential that makes the electrical charge more negative
  7. 13. the lobe in the brain that contains components used to process hearing
  8. 16. the fiber that is connected to the cell body of a neuron and is used to send electrical signals to other neurons
  9. 17. the type of neuron that receives signals from the central nervous system and brings it to other organs

  11. 19. the ion that is used to repolarize a cell
  12. 20. membrane-wrapped pouch that is used to transfer chemical signals
  13. 22. the act of applying myelin sheaths to the axons for faster communication between neurons
  14. 23. the type of potential that works as an all-or-nothing event and makes long-distance signals
  15. 24. the type of neuron that connects the afferent and efferent neurons
Down
  1. 2. the type of neuron that picks up stimuli from the body's peripheral and sends it to the central nervous system
  2. 3. one neuron connects to many neurons and influences them
  3. 5. the type of chemical signal used by neurons to communicate with other cells
  4. 6. the type of potential that is caused by specific events in specific parts of the cell membrane
  5. 8. the type of neuron that receives the signal
  6. 11. the lobe in the brain that contains components for visual processing
  7. 12. the ion that is used to depolarize a cell
  8. 14. the act of transporting chemical signals into the cell
  9. 15. many neurons connect to one neuron and influences that one neuron
  10. 19. the type of neuron that sends the signal to another cell
  11. 21. the act of transporting chemical signals out of the cell
