1. Branch of peripheral nervous system controlling involuntary motor response through connections between sensory receptors and the CNS, smooth and cardiac muscle, and glands.
6. Gap of space between the receiving end of a neuron and the sending end of another neuron
7. Glands throughout the body that secrete hormones through the bloodstream
9. The creation of new neurons
11. A portion of the PNS connecting the CNS to receptors that control skeletal muscles
13. Structures in the forebrain connected to emotions, memory, and physiological functions
14. Soma; nucleus-containing part of a neuron that assists the neuron with functions
16. Areas in the cerebral cortex that process information from other parts of the brain for acting, interpreting, and integrating.
18. Chemical compound that carries neural impulses from one neuron to another across synapses
20. Two lobes of the brain above the ear on either side of the head which are involved in hearing, comprehension, memory, and emotions

2. Portion of the ANS that takes action during stressful times by mobilizing energy
3. An automatic, biologically related response to a stimulus
4. Gray, fatty cells that provide support, deliver impulses, produce myelin, and clean up waste products
5. The part of the neuron made of branch-like fibers that receive impulses and then send them to the soma
8. Part of the nervous system in which the brain and spinal cord are associated
10. Part of the nervous system in which nerves and neurons connect the entire body to the CNS
12. Fatty insulation wrapped around the axon of a nerve cell that helps neural impulses to move faster as they cross the axon
15. a chemical compound that follows pain, pleasure, and memory
17. The basic cell of the nervous system; sends, processes, and receives neural impulses
19. A long, tube-like structure that carries nerve impulses from one neuron to another
