  2. 6. Composed of the thalamus, hypothalamus and epithalamus
  3. 7. Matter that is found most deep in the spinal cord
  4. 9. The fluid that cushions, circulates wastes and nutrients in the central nervous system
  5. 11. Major endocrine gland that is responsible for growth and development
  6. 16. Which structure is responsible for the 4 Fs? (Fighting, feeding, fleeing and fornication)

  10. 22. This structure plays a role in memory, emotion and learning
  11. 23. Brain matter that is found most deep in the cerebrum
Down
  1. 1. A hormone that is secreted by the substantia nigra in the midbrain
  2. 2. The cerebral aqueduct flows through this structure
  3. 3. "Little brain" a structure of the hindbrain that is responsible for balance, motor learning and coordinating voluntary movements
  4. 5. Interconnected cavities that circulate CSF
  5. 7. Ridges or "bumps" on the surface of the cerebrum
  6. 8. Middle layer of meninges, *blank* mater
  7. 10. Most superficial and strongest layer of meninges; *blank* mater

  9. 13. Grooves or "wrinkles" on the surface of the cerebrum
  10. 14. The folds of the cerebellum
  11. 15. The gyrus found above the corpus callosum
  12. 17. paired, oval-shaped swellings found on the medulla oblongata
