Nervous System
Across
- 1. receives signals from the retina of the eye; forms a "mental picture".
- 4. part of frontal lobe; control of skeletal muscles and precise control over certain parts of the body.
- 7. protected by vertebrae bones.
- 8. electrical connections of the body, transmit signals.
- 9. encephal.
- 10. control over the organs of the body.
- 12. signal to muscles.
- 13. sensory & neural functions/voluntary activity.
- 14. cortex.
- 19. cerebro.
- 21. processes sounds and contains the auditory cortex for receiving/interpreting impulses from the ear; medial portion is responsible for sense of smell.
- 22. chorio.
- 23. auto.
- 25. part of the parietal lobe; impulses such as touch, pain, and temperature are interpreted.
- 26. pass signals between other
Down
- 2. impulses from touch, pain, and temperature are received.
- 3. receive sensory signals.
- 5. brain & spinal cord.
- 6. involuntary actions.
- 11. gyro.
- 12. 3 layers surrounding the brain; allows for entry/exit of blood vessels, and circulation of cerebrospinal fluid.
- 15. motor control, coordination of sensory information, and balance.
- 16. 2 hemispheres, seperated by a fissure.
- 17. large anterior portion; responsible for control of skeletal muscles, thoughts, and speech.
- 18. body nerves.
- 20. neuro.
- 24. soma.
