Across
- 2. One of two basic types of neural tissue that support, protect, defend, and aid in the repair of injury of neural tissue, and regulate composition of nervous system interstitial fluid
- 4. A set of three tough membranes that encloses the entire brain and spinal cord.
- 6. The system within the cerebrum and diencephalon that influence emotions, motivation, mood, and sensations of pain and pleasure.
- 9. This type of nerve sends information to the brain; also called a sensory nerve
- 10. It is the outermost of the three meninges that enclose the brain and spinal cord (two words)
- 13. The nerve that innervates the muscles that flex the hip and extend the knee.
- 15. This major nerve emanates from the brachial plexus; it enables arm abduction
- 18. This nerve supplies motor fibers to the pharyngeal muscle, provides taste sensation to the posterior portion of the tongue, and carries parasympathetic fibers to the parotid gland.
- 21. It is the portion of the brain that controls movement, hearing, balance, speech, visual perception, emotions, and personality
- 22. It is the controlling organ of the body and center of consciousness
- 23. this portion of the nervous system may consist of sensory, motor, or connecting nerves
- 24. This lobe of the brain is the site for reception and evaluation of most sensory information, except smell, hearing, and vision
- 26. This part of the nervous system regulates activities over which there is voluntary control.
- 27. The junction between nerve cells across which nervous stimuli are transmitted.
- 28. This nerve supplies the sense of taste to the anterior two thirds of the tongue and cutaneous sensation to the external ear among other things.
- 30. What is the reflex called that causes a muscle to contract in response to an unpleasant stimulus?
- 31. The inferior portion of the midbrain, which serves as a conduction pathway for both ascending and descending nerve tracts.
- 32. What is a collection of nerve cell bodies located outside the central nervous system called?
- 33. The system that controls virtually all activities of the body, both voluntary and involuntary.
- 34. It is the part of the diencephalon that processes most sensory input and influences mood and general body movements, especially those associated with fear or rage.
Down
- 1. These cells are the target tissues of the autonomic nervous system.
- 3. It is responsible for control of many body functions, including pulse rate, digestion, emotion, hunger, regulation of the sleep cycle, etc.
- 5. It is the area of the brain between the spinal cord and cerebrum and it controls functions that are necessary for life
- 7. The nerve in the brachial plexus that innervates the pronator muscles of the forearm, as well as those that flex the wrist, fingers, and thumb.
- 8. This part of the nervous system relaxes the body.
- 11. It is part of the forebrain with functions related to emotions and circadian rhythms, and it connects the limbic system with other parts of the brain.
- 12. This nerve provides motor function to the muscles of the tongue and throat
- 14. These chemicals are produced by neurons that stimulate electrical reactions in adjacent cells.
- 16. This nerve provides motor functions to the soft palate, pharynx, and larynx.
- 17. The basic nerve cells of the nervous system, containing a nucleus within a cell body and extending one or more processes
- 18. What are the folds in the cerebrum called?
- 19. This type of nerve carries sensations of touch, taste, heat, cold, and pain
- 20. An endocrine gland, it releases epinephrine and norepinephrine when stimulated by the sympathetic nervous system
- 25. This is the large opening at the base of the skull through which the spinal cord exits the brain (two words)
- 29. The nerve that causes motion of the eyeballs and upper lid.
