Across
- 4. impairment to perform voluntary movements
- 7. release acetylcholine for parasympathetic responses
- 10. responsible for maintaining posture and muscle tone and regulating voluntary smooth muscle activity; depleted in parkinsons
- 11. a drug that produces sleep
- 12. release norepinephrine for sympathetic responses
- 14. neurotransmitter of the autonomic nervous system that causes vasoconstriction, increased HR, pupillary dilation; released from adrenergic fibers
- 15. the inability to sleep
- 17. signals from the CNS to the body to tell you what you are sensing
- 20. part of the autonomic nervous system that is responsible for slowing down normal responses; the "rest-and-digest response"
- 21. agents used to optimize motor function and decrease symptoms in parkinsons
- 23. progressive disease effecting older adults; most common type of dementia; including cognitive dysfunction, psychiatric and behavioral problems, and issues with ADLs
Down
- 1. chronic, progressive disorder of CNS; symptoms include tremors, slow movement, & muscle weakness
- 2. part of the peripheral nervous system; controls voluntary movement (skeletal muscle contractions)
- 3. nervous system that consists of the brain and spinal cord; responsible for processing signals and sending out signals for body response
- 5. part of the autonomic nervous system that is responsible for speeding up normal processes; the "fight-or-flight" response
- 6. neurotransmitter of the autonomic nervous system that causes decreased HR and pupillary constriction; released from cholinergic fibers

- 9. quiets the patient and gives them a feeling of relaxation and rest but not necessarily accompanied by sleep
- 12. lack of movement
- 13. the junction between one neuron and the next, see picture.
- 16. signals of sensory receptors (pain, cold, warmth, touch, smell) sent to the CNS
- 18. series of segments within the nerve
- 19. nervous system is made up of all the other nerves in the body that branch out from the spinal cord; carrying signals to the brain and then to body parts that allow you to move
- 22. uncontrolled shaking
- 23. part of the peripheral nervous system; controls most tissue functions (GI motility, vessel constriction/dilation, works automatically); maintains homeostasis and responds to emergency situations
