The Peripheral Nervous System
Across
- 4. where two neurons meet
- 5. glial celss which secrete and circulate cerebrospinal fluid
- 6. system responsible for resting state
- 9. system responsible for involuntary muscle control
- 10. contains the nucleus
- 12. neurons with one dendrite, a cell body, and a single axon
- 13. part of the neuron that serves as a passageway for nerve impulses and ends in terminals
- 14. system responsible for voluntary muscle control
- 15. neuron carrying information away from CNS to muscle
- 17. an electrical signal that travels along the neuron
- 20. neuron carrying information toward the CNS
- 22. glial cells which provide immunity to the CNS
- 23. indentations along the myelin sheath which speed up impulses
Down
- 1. system responsible for fight or flight
- 2. glial cells which support and anchor neurons in the PNS
- 3. chemical that carries the signal across the synaptic cleft
- 7. division of the nerous system containing brain and spinal cord
- 8. mechanism restoring resting potential of neuron
- 11. neurons with two dendrites, a cell body and a single axon
- 15. neurons with many dendrites, a cell body and a single axon
- 16. part of the neuron that receives impulses
- 18. division of the nervous system with sensory and motor neurons and sense organs
- 19. glial cells which support and anchor neurons in CNS
- 21. glial cells which provide myelin insulation to axons of neurons in PNS
