ENDOCRINE SYSTEM

5. is the primary functional and atomic unit of the nervous system
6. the largest part of the brain
11. type of neuroglia that supply nutrients to neurons and help maintain their ability to transmit impulses
12. type of nerve that carry motor impulses from the brain or spinal cord to the target muscles
14. responsible for eye reflexes that involve coordination of eye movements and control of the diameter of the pupil and the shape of the lens.
17. interprets and integrates sensory inputs including touch, pain and temperature
18. connects the cerebellum with the cerebrum and links the brain to the medulla oblongata
19. enables us to interpret visual stimuli from our surrounding
20. plays an important role in maintaining homeostasis, specifically in controlling temperature, appetite, thirst, salt and water balance
21. a cylindrical structure enclosed by the vertebral column
22. contact between two neurons

1. responsible for personality, judgement, abstract reasoning, social behavior, language expression, and voluntary movement
2. responsible for the coordination of voluntary muscle movements, maintenance of balance and, muscle tone.
3. a lipid-rich membrane that covered the axons
4. carry sensory impulses to the spinal cord or to the brain
7. influences heartbeat, breathing and high blood vessel functions
8. also known as the glial cell and it is a supportive cell of the nervous system that forms 40% of the brain's bulk
9. the control center of the human body and it is encased by the bone of the head called skull
10. type of neuroglia that supply nutrients to neurons and help maintain their ability to transmit impulses
13. the primary relay center of the brain
15. plays an important role in maintaining homeostasis, specifically in controlling temperature, appetite, thirst, salt and water balance
16. are branching processes that receive stimuli from other neurons and conduct these stimuli toward the neuron cell body
