Across
  1. 2. A neural impulse is a brief electrical charge that travels down an axon.
  2. 5. Visual areas of the back of the head receive visual information from the opposite visual field.
  3. 7. The hippocampus, amygdala, and hypothalamus are neural structures associated with emotions and drives, such as fear and aggression.
  4. 8. opiatelike neurotransmitters linked to pain control and to pleasure
  5. 13. automatic, inborn response to a sensory stimulus
  6. 15. process by which organisms maintain a relatively stable internal environment
  7. 16. The peripheral nervous system controls the body's skeletal muscles
  8. 18. The brainstem is responsible for controlling arousal-
  9. 21. The brain's sensory switchboard directs messages to the cortex and transmits replies to the cerebellum
  10. 23. tiny gaps between dendrites and axons of different neurons-
  11. 25. Scan X-ray photographs combined to create a composite image of the body.
  12. 26. located in the limbic system that helps process explicit memories for storage
  13. 29. a branch of psychology concerned with the links between biology and behavior
  14. 30. The cerebral cortex is responsible for speaking, muscle movements, and making decisions.
Down
  1. 1. What system is the brain and spinal cord in
  2. 3. is the oldest part of the brain, responsible for survival function.
  3. 4. The two hemispheres of the brain are isolated by cutting the connecting fibers.
  4. 6. The temporal lobe is responsible for language comprehension and expression
  5. 9. A computerized radiographic technique used to measure metabolic activity in brain
  6. 10. Neural "cables" connect the central nervous system to muscles, glands, and sense organs.
  7. 11. base of the brainstem; controls heartbeat and breathing
  8. 12. input fibers that carry electrical signals into a neuron from connected cells.
  9. 14. The brain is the body's control and information-processing center
  10. 17. Neural fibers carry messages between the two brain hemispheres
  11. 19. the level of stimulation required to trigger a neural impulse-
  12. 20. area of the brain responsible for all voluntary activities of the body
  13. 22. The cerebral cortex is involved in higher mental functions such as learning, remembering, thinking, and speaking
  14. 24. Neural clusters in the limbic system are linked to emotions
  15. 27. the basic building block of the nervous system
  16. 28. Endocrine glands produce chemical messengers that affect other tissues.-
