Across
  1. 5. – receives the original stimulus
  2. 8. – involuntary reaction that does not involve the brain for safety purposes
  3. 11. neuron – does the response
  4. 12. Rods and cones. Rods for black and white (night vision and movement and peripheral vision mostly) and cones for color, located on the retina at the back of the eye
  5. 13. – brain and spinal cord
  6. 14. – memory storage, signal interpretation
  7. 16. – sweet, salt, sour, bitter chemicals
  8. 18. – things you do have control over (running, writing, eye movement…)
  9. 19. – involuntary actions (autonomic nervous system), breathing, heart rate…
Down
  1. 1. – transfers signal from sensory neuron to brain, and brain to motor neuron
  2. 2. touch receptors for pressure (mostly) pain and temperature
  3. 3. – space between neurons where chemicals from axon of one neuron flow across to the dendrites of another neuron
  4. 4. – sends signal from cell body on to next neuron. Electrical and chemical signal.
  5. 6. – being able to touch one hand to the other with your eyes closed
  6. 7. – all neurons except the brain and spinal cord
  7. 9. stem – heart rate, breathing..
  8. 10. – receives signal/impulse from environment or from other neuron
  9. 15. – things you do not have control over
  10. 17. – balance and coordination
