The Brain
Across
- 5. adjustable opening in center of the eye in which light enters
- 6. this lobe processes visual input
- 10. this nervous system calms the body
- 14. damage here causes impaired speaking
- 15. retinal receptors that detect fine detail
- 16. located in limbic system, helps process memories
- 19. this lobe helps with higher level executive functioning like problem solving
- 21. light-sensitive part of eye that contains rods and cones
- 23. coiled, bony, fluid-filled tube in inner ear
Down
- 1. directs eating, drinking, body temperature
- 2. this lobe processes auditory input
- 3. this gland regulates growth and other glands
- 4. this nerve carries neural impulses from the eye to the brain
- 7. "little brain" at rear of brainstem, coordinates movement and balance
- 8. this nervous system arouses the body
- 9. damage here causes impaired understanding
- 11. the eye's clear outer layer, covering the pupil and iris
- 12. transparent structure behind the pupil that changes shape to help focus images on the retina
- 13. two lima-bean sized neural clusters in the limbic system, linked to emotion
- 17. this lobe receives sensory input for touch and body position
- 18. this type of nervous system controls the body's skeletal muscles
- 20. the brain's sensory control center
- 22. ring of muscle tissue that forms the color portion of the eye
