  7. 17. lobe: abstract thought, higher thinking, emotional control, speaking
  8. 18. gland: part of the endocrine system
  9. 19. neuron: fiber that transports electrical signal from cell body to axon terminal

  11. 22. neuron:...of ranvier; gaps in the myelin sheath that facilitate the electrical impulse
Down
  1. 1. neuron:...sheath; insulating layer around axon that aids in transmission
  2. 2. regulates bodily functions like hunger, thirst, body temp
  3. 3. neuron: branches that receive info by neurotransmission
