Across
  1. 4. Brain and spinal cord
  2. 7. Second of three ossicles that direct sound to the inner ear through vibration
  3. 8. Integrates sensory information
  4. 10. Center of the nervous system and the control center of the body
  5. 11. transmits electrical signals from the cochlea to the brain for interpretation
  6. 12. A fluid-filled, hair-lined organ responsible for transmitting sounds received by the ear as waves in the fluid into electrical signals that the brain can interpret
  7. 16. Visible portion of the outer ear
  8. 18. First of three ossicles that direct sound to the inner ear
  9. 19. Also known as the eardrum; vibrates to pass the sound waves to the bones of the middle ear
Down
  1. 1. Third of three ossicles that direct sound to the inner ear through vibration
  2. 2. Peripheral nerves
  3. 3. Three fluid-filled tubes of the inner ear which are responsible for balance
  4. 5. Involuntary response to an outside stimulus
  5. 6. Responsible for higher order thinking; damage to this area can change the personality
  6. 9. Part of the ear that directs sound to the eardrum
  7. 13. The most primitive part of the brain which is responsible for our most basic functions
  8. 14. Processes visual information
  9. 15. Membrane-covered hole that transfers the vibrations from the stapes to the fluid of the semicircular canals
  10. 17. Responsible for auditory processing
  11. 20. Responsible for motor control, such as precision, coordination, and timing
