Across
  1. 2. keeps body in homeostasis; influences nervous system and manages hormones
  2. 5. back of the head - purpose is visual perception
  3. 6. a type of tissue in the brain and spinal cord that allows you to function normally everyday
  4. 9. sixth cranial nerve - lateral movements of the eyeball
  5. 10. mostly made of gray matter; the nuclei relay sensory and motor signals
  6. 13. cranial nerve - three main branches of facial nerves
  7. 14. located behind the ears - processes auditory information and coding memory
  8. 16. the tough outermost membrane enveloping the brain and spinal cord
  9. 17. the link between the medulla oblongata and the thalamus
  10. 18. located in the back of the skull - function is to coordinate and regulate muscular activity
  11. 19. clusters of nerve cell bodies found throughout the body
Down
  1. 1. front-most part of brain -voluntary movement and language
  2. 3. a network of blood vessels in each ventricle of the brain
  3. 4. the delicate innermost membrane envelopig the brain and spinal cord
  4. 7. third pair of cranial nerves - supplies the muscles within the eyeballs
  5. 8. the second cranial nerve that is responsible for transmitting visual information
  6. 11. top of head - main purpose is processing sensory information
  7. 12. a large network of nerve fibers in the brain that exchanges information between different areas of the brain
  8. 13. fourth pair of cranial nerves - oblique muscle of eyeball (looks like a tiny thread)
  9. 15. main function is to transmit information from the hippocampus to the mammillary bodies/anterior nucleus of the thalamus
