  1. 7. A subdivision of the peripheral nervous system(PNS) that controls the body's involuntary motor responses
  2. 9. The pair of lobes that are involved in audition, language comprehension, memory and some emotional control
  3. 10. The pair of lobes where bodily sensations are received and interpreted
  4. 11. A long tube structure that conveys impulses away from the neuron's cell body
  5. 12. Consists of brain and spinal cord
  6. 15. The study of the relative effects of heredity and the environment on behavior and mental processes
  7. 19. Layer of fatty insulation wrapped around the axon of some neurons; increases the rate of travel along axon
Down
  1. 1. A neural impulse that carries information along axon of a neuron;movement is created by charges going in and out of the membrane
  2. 2. The pair of lobes responsible for vision and visual perception
  3. 3. A subdivision of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) that connects the central nervous system(CNS) to sensory receptors and controls skeletal muscles
  4. 4. The collection of upper-brain structures including the thalamus, hypothalamus, limbic system and cerebral cortex
  5. 5. The pair of lobes that govern motor control, speech production
  6. 6. Composed of nerves and neurons connecting the CNS to body
  7. 7. Blocks normal neurotransmitter functions
  8. 8. The basic building block of the nervous system; they receive, process and transmit messages
  9. 13. The cutting the corpus callous to separate the two hemispheres of the brain; used to treat severe epilepsy
  10. 14. Responsible for coordinating movement patterns, sleep and arousal
  11. 16. Region of brain that includes medulla, pons and cerebellum
  12. 17. Mimics or enhances a neurotransmitter's effect
  13. 18. Cell that provides structural, nutritional and other support for the neurons
