Across
- 2. the part of the neurone that contains the necleus
- 5. the nerve pathway operating in a reflex action
- 10. the electrical message carried by a nerve cell
- 12. chemical substances that act as messengers in the body
- 15. the molecule that is going to be changed by a chemical reaction
- 21. a nerve fiber that sends nerve impulses away from the cell body
- 22. organelles where cellular respiration occurs
- 24. endocrine glands situated on the kideys
- 25. quick,automatic actions that protect the body from danger, they are also know as reflexes
- 26. all the endocrine glands of the body
- 27. special cells that detect stimuli
- 29. a nerve cell

Down
- 1. the lower half of the brain stem
- 3. the nerve that carries messages to the brain from the retina at the back of the eye
- 4. the movement of particles of a substance from an are of high concentration to an area of low concentration
- 6. any factor that stimulates a receptor and brigs about a response
- 7. the insulating layer that covers a neurone
- 8. glands that produce hormones
- 9. nerve cells that carry messages from cells in the sense organs to the CNS
- 11. an organic catalyst
- 13. the endocrine gland that controls the activities of other endocrine glands; it is often called the 'master gland'
- 14. a chemical message released at the end of an axon to be received by the next neurone's dendrites
- 16. the cels on which a hormone acts
- 17. the chemical store of glucose in the liver and muscles
- 18. part of the brain where the spinal cord enters the skull
- 19. a hormone that has the opposite effect to insulin; it releases glucose from stores in the liver and muscles
- 20. branches from the cell body the receive messages from other neurones
