ENDOCRINE SYSTEM

3. plays an important role in maintaining homeostasis, specifically in controlling temperature, appetite, thirst, salt and water balance
5. enables us to interpret visual stimuli from our surrounding
9. type of neuroglia that supply nutrients to neurons and help maintain their ability to transmit impulses
12. type of neuroglia that supply nutrients to neurons and help maintain their ability to transmit impulses
13. responsible for the coordination of voluntary muscle movements, maintenance of balance and, muscle tone.
15. type of nerve that carry motor impulses from the brain or spinal cord to the target muscles
17. the largest part of the brain
20. the primary relay center of the brain
21. carry sensory impulses to the spinal cord or to the brain
22. are branching processes that receive stimuli from other neurons and conduct these stimuli toward the neuron cell body

1. contact between two neurons
2. interprets and integrates sensory inputs including touch, pain and temperature
4. a cylindrical structure enclosed by the vertebral column

14. a lipid-rich membrane that covered the axons
16. is the primary functional and atomic unit of the nervous system
18. connects the cerebellum with the cerebrum and links the brain to the medulla oblongata
19. also known as the glial cell and it is a supportive cell of the nervous system that forms 40% of the brain's bulk
