Neuron and Brain Anatomy
Across
- 2. The body of the neuron that contains the nucleus and other cell organelles.
- 3. This part of the CNS is inferior to the brain and attaches to the PNS.
- 4. This lobe of the brain is responsible for controlling sensory information such as pressure, heat, and pain.
- 6. This is part of the PNS that controls skeletal muscle movement.
- 8. The gap between the presynaptic and postsynaptic neuron. (2 words, no spaces)
- 9. This lobe of the brain is responsible for controlling vision.
- 12. This part of the brain controls things like hunger and temperature regulation.
- 13. This part of the brain signals other endocrine glands to grow or function. (2 words, no spaces)
- 16. This part of the CNS is found within the cranium.
- 17. This is part of the PNS that controls glands and involuntary muscle movement.
- 18. This part of the brain controls basic functions such as breathing and heartbeat. (2 words, no spaces)
- 19. This part of the brain controls balance and coordination.
- 21. The entire folded region on the outer brain. (2 words, no spaces)
Down
- 1. Which neuron receives the impulse from a neighboring neuron?
- 2. The axon termination buds could also be called this.
- 5. The electrical impulse that travels through a neuron. (2 words, no spaces)
- 7. The long, cable-like structure on an neuron that carry the action potential.
- 10. This part of the brain controls sleep and wakefulness.
- 11. This lobe is responsible for controlling judgement, emotion, and abstract reasoning.
- 14. This lobe is responsible for controlling hearing and language.
- 15. Arms branching off of the cell body that can receive signals from neighboring neurons.
- 18. The insulating cover on the axon? (2 words, no spaces)
- 20. This is a chemical messenger that is released into the synaptic cleft.
