4. Soma; nucleus-containing part of a neuron that assists the neuron with functions
5. The basic cell of the nervous system; sends, processes, and receives neural impulses
6. Part of the nervous system in which the brain and spinal cord are associated
7. Gap of space between the receiving end of a neuron and the sending end of another neuron
8. Fatty insulation wrapped around the axon of a nerve cell that helps neural impulses to move faster as they cross the axon
11. Portion of the ANS that takes action during stressful times by mobilizing energy
14. a chemical compound that follows pain, pleasure, and memory
16. A long, tube-like structure that carries nerve impulses from one neuron to another
17. The part of the neuron made of branch-like fibers that receive impulses and then send them to the soma
18. A portion of the PNS connecting the CNS to receptors that control skeletal muscles
20. Glands throughout the body that secrete hormones through the bloodstream

1. An automatic, biologically related response to a stimulus
2. The creation of new neurons
3. Gray, fatty cells that provide support, deliver impulses, produce myelin, and clean up waste products
9. Chemical compound that carries neural impulses from one neuron to another across synapses
10. Areas in the cerebral cortex that process information from other parts of the brain for acting, interpreting, and integrating.
12. Two lobes of the brain above the ear on either side of the head which are involved in hearing, comprehension, memory, and emotions
13. Structures in the forebrain connected to emotions, memory, and physiological functions
15. Branch of peripheral nervous system controlling involuntary motor response through connections between sensory receptors and the CNS, smooth and cardiac muscle, and glands.
19. Part of the nervous system in which nerves and neurons connect the entire body to the CNS
