Neural anatomy
Across
- 4. cord, long fragile tube like structure that starts at the base of the brain stem
- 5. horn, found in spinal cord levels and is comprise of sensory nuclei
- 7. part of the brain located in the back of the skull
- 9. most anterior part of the brain/ located in the front area of the skull
- 15. production of cerebral spinal fluid
- 17. responsible for myeline production in CNS
- 19. matter, contains cell bodies of neurons and glia
Down
- 1. cells, non-neural cells
- 2. layer, use glutamate as an excitatory transmitter
- 3. cells, large cells involved in motor coordination
- 6. promote neuronal functioning and repair neuronal damage
- 7. canal, cerebral spinal fluid flows through this center opening
- 8. matter, myelinated and un-myelinated nerve fiber
- 10. layer, stellate and basket cells and control firing rate of purkinje cells
- 11. cell, similar to astrocytes in protecting the PNS neurons
- 12. cell, myelin production in the peripheral nervous system
- 13. protects brain against infection in inflammation
- 14. horn, comprise motor neurons that innervate skeletal muscle
- 16. root ganglia, info from skin, skeletal muscle, and joints relayed to spinal cord
- 18. column, comprise autonomic neurons innervating visceral and pelvic organs
