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