Across
- 3. A nerve that carries messages toward the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord)
- 4. This part of the peripheral nervous system controls involuntary processes and is part of the peripheral nervous system.
- 7. This part of the peripheral nervous system controls motor commands and voluntary movement and sends sensory information to the brain.
- 8. This area of the autonomic nervous system is only found in the digestive system and acts independently of all other nervous systems but does communicate with the brain via the Vagus nerve.
- 9. The thinking part of the brain
- 10. These supportive (stroma) cells line membranes inside the brain and spinal cord where cerebral spinal fluid is produced and circulates.
- 11. The part of the neuron that carries impulses along a nerve cell.
- 13. This area of the autonomic nervous system keeps balance by calming the body.
Down
- 1. The connective and support tissues of an organ are called this.
- 2. The cerebrospinal fluid is contained within these canals in the brain.
- 4. These star like supportive cells transport water and salt between capillaries and neurons.
- 5. This area of the autonomic nervous system controls action and stress.
- 6. The ends of nerve cells release this neurotransmitter chemical.
- 9. The brain and spinal cord make up this section of the nervous system.
- 12. These stroma (supportive) cells protect neurons in response to inflammation.
