Across
- 5. location where 2 structures meet, allows for flexibility & mobility for bones
- 6. outer most layers of hemishpheres
- 9. comprised of collagen and matrix intermixed with minerals like calcium
- 11. nerve fibers coming in from an adjacent cell
- 15. vascular tissue that runs throughout the nervous system, similar to a blood plasma
- 16. FUNCTION of the parts
- 17. helper cells of the nervous system
- 18. develops into midbrain during embryonic development
- 20. tough cords that attach muscle to muscle, muscle to bone, & muscle to cartilage
- 21. scientific study of the STRUCTURE of organisms
- 22. communicating cells of the nervous system
- 23. sensory motor station, large walnut-shaped structure deep in diencephalon
- 25. group or layer of similar cells that perform specific function
- 26. located in auditory cortex, responsible for processing linguistic information
- 28. very large and deep sulci
- 29. develops into pons & cerebellum
- 32. specialized connective tissue that can be rigid, flexible, or semi-elastic
- 33. membrane that encase CNS to protect, has 3 layers
- 36. neuronal axons are covered in this
- 37. located in precentral gyrus of frontal lobe that control motor function
- 38. building blocks of tissues
- 39. interconnects Broca's area and Wernicke's area
Down
- 1. develops into medulla
- 2. located in the inferior frontal gyrus of the frontal lobe, responsible for language production
- 3. variability variability from person to person
- 4. located in postcentral gyrus of the parietal lobe, responsible for processing sensations
- 7. located in the superior temporal gyrus, otherwise known as primary auditory cortex
- 8. study of the nature of diseases associated with living organisms
- 10. nucleus midline that sits anterior and inferior to thalamus, important for autonomic functions
- 12. subdivides into metencephalon & myencephalon
- 13. tough cords with elasticity that attach bone to bone, bone to cartilage, or cartilage to cartilage
- 14. group of independent but interrelated elements that comprise a unified whole
- 19. develops into telencephalon & diencephalon during embryonic development
- 24. depressions between gyri
- 27. nerve fibers sending signal out to adjacent cell
- 30. located in ventral surface of temporal lobe, involved in memory
- 31. collection of gray matter involved in modifying movement, making adjustments, and formulaic language
- 32. consists of brain and spinal cord
- 34. consists of everthing that is nervous tissue that is NOT brain and spinal cord (cranial nerves and spinal nerves)
- 35. bulges in the cortex
