  1. 2. The body of the neuron that contains the nucleus and other cell organelles.
  2. 3. This part of the CNS is inferior to the brain and attaches to the PNS.
  3. 4. This lobe of the brain is responsible for controlling sensory information such as pressure, heat, and pain.
  4. 6. This is part of the PNS that controls skeletal muscle movement.
  5. 8. The gap between the presynaptic and postsynaptic neuron. (2 words, no spaces)
  6. 9. This lobe of the brain is responsible for controlling vision.
  7. 12. This part of the brain controls things like hunger and temperature regulation.
  8. 13. This part of the brain signals other endocrine glands to grow or function. (2 words, no spaces)
  9. 16. This part of the CNS is found within the cranium.
  10. 17. This is part of the PNS that controls glands and involuntary muscle movement.
  11. 18. This part of the brain controls basic functions such as breathing and heartbeat. (2 words, no spaces)
  12. 19. This part of the brain controls balance and coordination.
  13. 21. The entire folded region on the outer brain. (2 words, no spaces)

  1. 1. Which neuron receives the impulse from a neighboring neuron?
  2. 2. The axon termination buds could also be called this.
  3. 5. The electrical impulse that travels through a neuron. (2 words, no spaces)
  4. 7. The long, cable-like structure on an neuron that carry the action potential.
  5. 10. This part of the brain controls sleep and wakefulness.
  6. 11. This lobe is responsible for controlling judgement, emotion, and abstract reasoning.
  7. 14. This lobe is responsible for controlling hearing and language.
  8. 15. Arms branching off of the cell body that can receive signals from neighboring neurons.
  9. 18. The insulating cover on the axon? (2 words, no spaces)
  10. 20. This is a chemical messenger that is released into the synaptic cleft.
