Across
- 2. The clear internal fluid of the cell
- 4. Neurons with a short axon or no axon at all
- 7. It relays and regulates signals of sensation that induces pain to the body
- 10. Located just below the anterior thalamus
- 11. Are the largest glial cells
- 14. A nerve cell which sends different messages all throughout the body.
- 15. It is a class of neuron with more than two processes extending from its cell body
- 18. Cell bodies in the central nervous system
- 19. A neuron with one process extending from its cell body
- 20. Site of aerobic energy release
- 21. The buttonlike endings of the axon branches, which release chemicals into synapses
- 22. Membrane A semipermeable membrane that encloses the neuron
- 23. Matter It allows the exchange of information and communication to the different areas of the body
- 25. It responds to injury or disease by multiplying, engulfing cellular debris or even entire cells and triggering inflammatory responses.
- 27. Fatty insulation around the axon
- 28. Large furrows in a convoluted cortex
Down
- 1. The gaps between adjacent neurons across which chemical signals are transmitted.
- 3. Cell bodies in the peripheral nervous system
- 5. A space located beneath the arachnoid membrane
- 6. It makes up about 90%of the human cerebral cortex
- 8. Cord It is a long band of tissues, nerves, and cells. A delicate structure inside the spine.
- 9. The almond-shaped nucleus in the anterior temporal lobe
- 12. Dorsal surface of the midbrain
- 13. A midline nucleus located at the anterior tip of the cingulate cortex
- 16. It is the automatic motor nerves that project from the brain and sacral region of the spinal cord.
- 17. A kind of nerve that carries sensory signal from the skin, skeletal muscle, joints, eyes, ears, etc.
- 20. It is the most posterior region of the brain stem
- 22. A large convoluted structure on the brain stem’s dorsal surface
- 24. Water head
- 26. It means toward the surface of the chest or the bottom of the head.
