Across
  1. 2. lobe- a part of your brain that helps you use your senses to understand and respond to the world around you.
  2. 5. nervous system- a component of the peripheral nervous system that regulates involuntary physiologic processes including heart rate, blood pressure, respiration and digestion,
  3. 7. nervous system- the nervous system outside the brain and spinal cord.
  4. 10. the fundamental units of the brain and nervous system, the cells responsible for receiving sensory input from the external world
  5. 13. lobe- the visual processing area of the brain
  6. 15. nervous system- predominates in quiet “rest and digest” conditions
  7. 18. neurons- are the nerve fibers responsible for bringing sensory information from the outside world into the brain.
  8. 19. coordinates functions that are fundamental to survival, including respiratory rhythm, motor activity, sleep, and wakefulness
  9. 20. lobe- It's responsible for control over many abilities, including the way you think, how you move and how you remember things.
Down
  1. 1. endogenous chemicals that allow neurons to communicate with each other throughout the body.
  2. 3. plays a central role in the processing of information related to complex cognitive activities, sensory and associative functions, and voluntary motor activities
  3. 4. lobe- processes your sense of touch and assembles input from your other senses into a form you can use.
  4. 6. flexibility and adaptability
  5. 8. callosum- the principal connection between the two sides of the brain.

  7. 11. nervous system- a network of nerves that helps your body activate its “fight-or-flight” response.
  8. 12. the junction between two neurons where information is transmitted from one neuron to another.
  9. 14. cortex- the outer layer of your brain's surface, located on top of the cerebrum
  10. 16. neurons- the nerve fibers responsible for carrying signals from the brain to the peripheral nervous system in order to initiate an action
  11. 17. nervous system- the complex of nerve tissues that controls the activities of the body.
