Across
- 3. Branches that extend from the cell body of the neuron, function to receive neurotransmitters (via facilitated diffusion) from the synapse
- 4. nervous system brain and spinal cord
- 5. Gap between neurons (between dendrites and terminal buds)
- 8. terminal Portion of the neuron which releases neurotransmitters into the synapse (sends message to next neuron)
- 9. nervous system Subdivision of the peripheral nervous system that regulates involuntary functions (things our body does without having to think about doing it) Example - heart beat, blood pressure, blinking, etc.
Down
- 1. sheath Insulation around the axon of the neuron, contains electrical impulse within the neuron.
- 2. nervous system the nervous system outside the brain and spinal cord
- 4. body Many organelles such as the nucleus are found here
- 5. nervous system The division of the peripheral nervous system that controls the body's skeletal muscles (voluntary movements and actions)
- 6. Transmits electrical impulse down the body of the neuron, insulated by the myelin sheath
- 7. Specialized cell found in the nervous system, functions to transmit nerve impulses
