psych
Across
- 2. neurons - sensory neurons that send impulses from stimuli to Central nervous systems and the brain
- 5. neurons - motor neurons that carry neural impulses from the central nervous system to the muscles
- 7. nervous system - the part of the peripheral nervous system associated with the voluntary control of body movements
- 8. nervous system - the part of the nervous system that controls the bodily functions that aren’t consciously directed
- 9. lobe - behaviour and emotional control centre and home to our personality.
- 10. - the ability of neural networks in the brain to change through growth and reorganization. These changes range from individual neuron pathways making new connections, to systematic adjustments like cortical remapping
- 12. nervous system - controls most functions of the body and mind
- 14. - controls body temperature, reproductive functions, eating, sleeping, and the display of emotions.
- 15. callosum - bundles of nerves that permits communication between the right and left sides of the brain.
- 16. nervous system - links the internal organs to the brain and the spinal cord.
- 18. lobe - integrates sensory input, and construction of a spatial coordinate system to represent the world around us.
- 20. nervous system - the nervous system outside the brain and spinal cord
Down
- 1. cortex - a sheet of neural tissue that is outermost to the cerebrum of the mammalian brain.
- 3. lobe - processes affect/emotions, language, and certain aspects of visual perception.
- 4. - a chemical messenger that carries, boosts, and balances
- 6. nervous system - conserve energy to be used later and to regulate bodily functions like digestion and urination
- 11. - a junction between two nerve cells consisting of minute gaps where impulses pass by diffusion of a neurotransmitter
- 13. - a cell that transmits nerve impulses
- 17. - the posterior of three bulges that appear in the embryonic brain as it develops from the neural tube
- 19. lobe - controls people’s visual perception, including colour, form and motion
