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