Across
  1. 4. the lobe that processes sensory information, such as touch and pain
  2. 8. three layers of membrane/tissue that surround and protect the brain
  3. 11. the nervous system that controls involuntary movement of smooth and cardiac muscles
  4. 12. the brain's link between the brain stem and cerebrum
  5. 18. the lobe that processes language and auditory (hearing) information
  6. 19. chemicals released from neurons to cross synapses
  7. 20. the lobe that processes visual stimuli, including colors and distance
  8. 21. the part of the brain that controls voluntary movement and coordination
  9. 22. the nervous system that senses stimuli in the environment
Down
  1. 1. the part of the brain that controls involuntary movement, such as breathing and heart beats
  2. 2. the part of the autonomic nervous system that calms you down, rest and digest
  3. 3. a cell that responds to stimuli by conducting electrical impulses (action potentials)
  4. 5. the type of neurons in the CNS that transport info between the sensory and motor neurons
  5. 6. hollow fluid-filled cavities within brain which make and transport the cerebrospinal fluid
  6. 7. the lobe that processes higher thinking, problem solving, and impulse control
  7. 9. the part of the autonomic nervous system that excites you, fight or flight
  8. 10. the gland that regulates reproductive cycles
  9. 13. the nervous system that controls voluntary skeletal muscle movements
  10. 14. the brain's link between the nervous and endocrine systems
  11. 15. superior part of the brain consisting of the 4 lobes, aka cerebral cortex
  12. 16. the system in the brain that controls emotions
  13. 17. the gland that regulates sleep
