Across
  1. 4. oldest part of the brain responsible for basic human functions, what keeps us alive
  2. 6. subdivision of autonomic nervous system that arouses the body
  3. 9. electrochemical communication network of the body
  4. 12. fatty tissue encasing the axon
  5. 13. the part of the nervous system that connects the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body
  6. 15. a kind of mri that involves a sequence of mris taken in quick succession allowing brain activity to be viewed
  7. 16. nueral clusters in the limbic system linked to emtion
  8. 17. response in which nueron either fires completely or doesn't at all
  9. 20. nuerons within the cns that act as middlemen between motor and sensory nuerons
  10. 26. short period of time after a nueron has fired, action potential cannot occur again until the nueron has returned to its resting state
  11. 27. brief electrical charge that travels down the axon, a nueral impulse
  12. 29. branch-like message recievers of a nueron
  13. 30. a nerve cell
  14. 31. the chemical messengers of the endocrine system
  15. 32. nuerons that carry outgoing info from the cns to the pns
  16. 36. nuerons that carry sensory information into the cns
  17. 38. molecule that blocks a nuerotransmitter's action
  18. 39. nueral structure below the thalamus, helps maintain homeostasis, helps govern the endocrine system, and is linked to emotion and reward
  19. 41. brain observing method involving the measurement of electrical activity on the brains surface
  20. 43. brain observation that relys on the observation of radioactive glucose within the brain
  21. 44. part of nueron that passes messages through the terminal branches
  22. 45. brain observation method that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create images of soft tissue
Down
  1. 1. brain observation method that uses a series of x rays to take cross sectional images of the brain
  2. 2. nueral center in the limbic system that helps proccess and store explicit memories of facts and events
  3. 3. part of the brain at the back of the brainstem, processes sensory info, coordinates movement and balance, enables non-verbal learning
  4. 5. molecule that increases a nuerotransmitter's action
  5. 7. gland in the endocrine system that
  6. 8. part of brain at the base of the brainstem, controls breathing and heartbeat
  7. 10. tissue damage
  8. 11. the most influential, controls other endocrine glands
  9. 14. chemical messengers that pass through the synaptic gap between nuerons
  10. 18. communication system of the body that is slower than the nervous system, uses chemicals as messengers
  11. 19. part of brainstem that is involved in arousal
  12. 21. part of brain refered to as the sensory control center
  13. 22. part of pns that controls internal glands and organs
  14. 23. part of cell that contains the nucleus
  15. 24. brain obersvation method that measures magnetic fields from natural brain activity
  16. 25. pair of glands in the endocrine system that secrete arousing hormones
  17. 28. subdivision of autonomic nervous system that calms the body
  18. 33. level of stimulation needed to trigger a nueral impulse
  19. 34. space between a terminal branch of one nueron and a dendrite of another
  20. 35. abbreviation for part of the nervous system including the brain and spinal cord
  21. 37. nueral system associated with emotions and drives
  22. 40. part of pns that controls skeletal muscles
  23. 42. self created morphine,nurotransmitter linked to pain control
