  1. 3. Spinal vertebrae that connects the spine to the pelvis
  2. 4. The link between the brain and the nerves in the rest of the body.
  3. 6. The long projections of the cell body that carry the nerve impulses away from the cell body.
  4. 7. The nervous system outside the brain and spinal cord.
  5. 8. Area between two neurons at which nerve impulses are transmitted.
  6. 10. Spinal vertebrae supports most of the body weight and allows a small range of movement.
  7. 14. A short branched extension of a nerve cell, where impulses received from other cells at synapses are transmitted to the cell body.
  8. 15. Maintains posture and balance.
  9. 17. A lobe that integrates sensory information and plays a role in spatial perception.
  10. 20. Spinal vertebrae that has rib attachments and protects vital organs in the upper body.
  11. 21. Meditates sensations,manages emotions,and commands internal systems.
  12. 22. A lobe that contains an auditory cortex, it associates with auditory,olfactory, and perception.
  13. 23. Regulates heart and blood vessel function, digestion, respiration, swallowing, coughing, sneezing, and blood pressure.
  14. 24. Carries information from the brain to the body.
  15. 25. Spinal vertebrae that supports the head, protects the brain stem, and allows head movement.

  1. 1. Transmits sensory signals and motor commands.
  2. 2. A lobe that receives information from the eye and processes visual perceptions.
  3. 4. A nervous system that enables "Fight or Flight".
  4. 5. The fundamental unit of tissue.
  5. 7. Located below midbrain.
  6. 9. Carries information from the body to the brain.
  7. 11. The nervous system responsible for carrying motor and sensory information.
  8. 12. The nervous system made up of the brain and spinal cord.
  9. 13. A lobe that is the speech center, and ties into planning and long term memory.. reasoning and thought.
  10. 16. Located below cerebrum; responsible for eye and auditory reflexes.
  11. 17. A nervous system that brings all systems of the body back to normal.
  12. 18. A chemical structure on the surface of a cell that is sensitive to stimulation.
  13. 19. Controls and regulates temperature,appetite,water balance,sleep, and blood vessel constriction.
