Across
  1. 3. lobe associated with judgment, problem solving, emotions, memory, learning
  2. 5. lobe associated with hearing, olfaction(smell), memory
  3. 6. is located in the floor of the third ventricle and is the master control of the autonomic system.controls homeostasis
  4. 7. part of brain stem associated with respiration
  5. 9. part of brain stem that controls breathing, heart rate, blood pressure
  6. 12. is located under the cerebrum. Its function is to coordinate muscle movements, maintain posture, and balance.
  7. 13. tree pattern inside cerebellum made of white matter
  8. 15. made up of epithalamus, thalamus, hypothalamus
  9. 16. part of brain stem associated with visual and auditory reflexes
  10. 17. cavities lined with ependymal cells, filled with and produces CSF.
  11. 18. is the largest part of the brain and is composed of right and left hemispheres. It performs higher functions like interpreting touch, vision and hearing, as well as speech, reasoning, emotions, learning, and fine control of movement.
  12. 19. a clear, colorless plasma-like fluid that bathes the central nervous system (CNS). Cerebrospinal fluid circulates through a system of cavities found within the brain and spinal cord; ventricles, subarachnoid space of the brain and spinal cord and the central canal of the spinal cord, functions include protection, providing nutrients, removing toxins, reg. temp. and pressure, immunity
Down
  1. 1. deep groove that separates the right and left hemispheres
  2. 2. in the brain made up of myelinated axons, allows for communication between the gray matter and the lower CNS centers.
  3. 4. consists of high concentrations of neuronal bodies, unmyelinated axons, processes information in the brain.
  4. 7. lobe associated with taste and touch, vocab understanding
  5. 8. shallow grooves on the brain
  6. 10. lobe associated with vision
  7. 11. ridges on the surface of the brain
  8. 14. acts as a relay center connecting the cerebrum and cerebellum to the spinal cord. It performs many automatic functions such as breathing, heart rate, body temperature, wake and sleep cycles, digestion, sneezing, coughing, vomiting, and swallowing.
