Biology and behavior

5. connect neurons and help transmit information from one neuron to the next.
11. transmit messages through the body.
12. handles unconscious processes and jobs, such as sleep-wake cycle and breathing.
13. cord send motor commands from the brain to the body also send sensory information from the body to the brain.
14. responsible for the higher-level processes of the human brain( language, learning, decision-making).
15. branching treelike structure that collect and stores incoming information.
16. initiates and coordinates movement and regulates temperature.
17. A sheath/protection around the axon.
20. muscle control, including balance and movement.
21. regulating arousal and sleep-wake transitions.
22. the brain and spinal cord.
23. connect the CNS with organs and muscle to perform daily functions.

1. terminal contains neurotransmitters that release to communicate with other neurotransmitters.
2. portion of the brain that deals with emotions, memories , and stimulation.
3. control all functions of the cell.
4. makes sure both sides of the brain can communicate and send signals to each other.
6. gets information from different sensory areas and relate the information to past experiences.
7. helps control vital processes like your heartbeat, breathing and blood pressure.
8. consists of the nerves that branch out from the brain and spinal cord.
9. Keeps your body in a stable state called homeostasis.
10. carry chemicals that allow neurons to communicate with each other.
18. gets the messages from the axon.
19. relay motor and sensory signals to the cerebral cortex.
