Across
- 5. nervous system -the part of the peripheral nervous system associated with the voluntary control of body movements
- 8. lobe-processing and interpreting somatosensory input
- 9. structure that permits a neuron (or nerve cell) to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another neuron
- 14. nervous system controls most functions of the body and mind
- 15. nervous system-the part of the nervous system responsible for control of the bodily functions not consciously directed, such as breathing, the heartbeat, and digestive processes
- 16. hindbrain coordinates functions that are fundamental to survival, including respiratory rhythm, motor activity, sleep, and wakefulness.
- 17. neurons-the nerve fibers responsible for carrying signals from the brain to the peripheral nervous system
- 19. nervous system- predominates in quiet “rest and digest” conditions while the sympathetic nervous system drives the “fight or flight” response in stressful situations.
- 20. and processing sensory information, thinking, perceiving, producing and understanding language, and controlling motor function.
Down
- 1. messengers in the body
- 2. lobe-The temporal lobes are also believed to play an important role in processing affect/emotions, language, and certain aspects of visual perception
- 3. nervous system-connects the internal organs to the brain by spinal nerves
- 4. cortex-as consciousness, thought, emotion, reasoning, language, and memory.
- 6. callosum-a large bundle of more than 200 million myelinated nerve fibers that connect the two brain hemispheres, permitting communication between the right and left sides of the brain
- 7. nervous system the division of the nervous system containing all the nerves that lie outside of the central nervous system
- 10. neurons-the nerve fibers responsible for bringing sensory information from the outside world into the brain
- 11. lobe-visual perception, including colour, form and motion
- 12. quality of being easily shaped or molded
- 13. lobe- considered our behaviour and emotional control centre and home to our personality
- 18. the fundamental units of the brain and nervous system
