Plate Tectonics CROSS/SEARCH
Across
- 3. Covers the axon and works like an insulator to keep the signal inside the cell
- 5. Nerve that carries impulses to the brain or spinal cord
- 7. Connector nerve cells that carry messages between sensory and motor neurons
- 9. Lobe of the cerebrum that is responsible for visual processing
- 12. Lobe of the cerebrum that is responsible for movement, balance
- 13. An involuntary response to something, which happens quickly use to protect your body from harm
- 14. controls all body functions by sending and receiving messages up and down the spinal cord through the nerves
- 17. Lobe of the cerebrum that is responsible for auditory, memory
- 18. Neuron cell body
- 20. A pathway in which your brain sends and receives information about what is happening in and around the body
- 22. The message carried by neurons is called a nerve.
- 23. Carries messages to and from parts of the body to the central nervous system through nerves
Down
- 1. Sends information through peripheral nerves to your central nervous system
- 2. A gap that separates the axon of one neuron and the dendrite of the next neuron
- 4. Makes sure processes in your body work automatically
- 6. Made up of the brain and spinal cord
- 8. Connects brain to spinal cord controls hunger, body temperature, blood pressure and breathing
- 10. Located under the cerebrum in the back of the brain and controls balance and complex actions like walking
- 11. Neuron A nerve that carries impulses from the brain or spinal cord to a muscle or gland
- 15. Lobe of the cerebrum that is responsible for reasoning, planning
- 16. brings electrical signals towards the soma
- 19. Takes information away from the soma
- 20. Specialized cells that carry messages through an electrochemical process
- 21. Largest part of the brain that uses information from our senses to tell us what is going on and how to respond
