Across
  1. 3. Composed of the brain and spine and processes information from the peripheral nervous system
  2. 5. System that converts external stimuli into a physical reactions through neurotransmitters
  3. 8. A Neuron activated by outside stimuli that sends information to the CNS
  4. 10. The body of a neuron where all the cell organelles are held
  5. 12. Controls voluntary movement
  6. 17. Hormone that increases feeling of hunger
  7. 18. A Neuron that carries information from the CNS to effectors cells in the PNS
  8. 19. The part of the neuron where the nerve impulse travels
  9. 20. A neurotransmitter that deals with perception of pain as well as emotional and behavioral regulation.
  10. 22. The parts of the neuron that are at the ends of the axons
  11. 23. The part of the neuron at the ends of the branches that hold the vesicles of neurotransmitters
  12. 24. Part of the neuron in the axon button that holds neurotransmitters to be transported
  13. 25. Initiates rest and digest state. Caused by Endorphins.
  14. 27. The part of the neuron that connects the soma to the Axon
  15. 28. The part of a neuron that protects the Axon
Down
  1. 1. Controls involuntary actions such as breathing and heart beating.
  2. 2. Hormone that decreases feeling of hunger
  3. 4. Fight or flight hormone
  4. 6. Initiates fight or flight reaction. Controlled by norepinephrine.
  5. 7. A neurotransmitter dealing with mood regulation,sleep,arousal,appetite, and digestion. Lack of this hormone can lead to anxiety and sleep issues.
  6. 9. Connects the central nervous system to all other nerves in the body
  7. 11. A Neuron that sends information within the CNS and stores and processes information
  8. 13. The space in between to neurons where neurotransmitters are released and recepted
  9. 14. Hormone that induces sleep
  10. 15. The parts of the neuron that receives the nerve impulse
  11. 16. The parts in-between the parts of the Myelin sheath where the signals jump while traveling down the axon
  12. 21. A neurotransmitter that deal with pain regulation, mood, and stress.
  13. 26. Hormone associated with love and promotes bonding
