Across

- 8. connects the right and left hemispheres
- 10. controls speech
- 13. Produces cerebrospinal fluid
- 14. top of the spinal column. Includes the medulla, pons, and midbrain. Connects the brain and spinal cord
- 15. highest area on the brain stem that relays auditory info
- 17. Lowest part of the brainstem that controls autonomic fxns (breathing, heart rate,& vomiting, etc)
- 18. Top lobes of the brain, processes touch, temperature, and pain.
- 19. Side Lobes of the brain, for hearing, language & smell
- 20. small gland near the thalamus that secretes melatonin, to regulate sleep.
Down
- 1. Area of the forebrain, below the Thalamus that regulates body temp, hunger, thirst and maintaining homeostasis
- 2. Front part of the brain, controls emotional behaviors, decisions, planning, speech and muscles
- 3. lines the ventricles (hollow spaces) in the brain.
- 4. Pea-sized gland that regulates growth hormone and other glands.
- 6. acts as a primary relay and processing center for sensory information and autonomic control.
- 7. tough layer of tissue surrounding the brain that holds it in place, inside the skull
- 8. Lower/back part of the brain that coordinates balance & movement
- 9. the part of the brain that controls muscle functions, speech, and thought
- 11. Back lobe of the brain processes visual information
- 12. Middle Part of the brainstem. Involved in autonomic fxns (sleep regulation)
- 16. Controls Voluntary contractions of muscles
