Across
- 2. the type of muscle that is under voluntary/conscious control
- 5. specialized cells that send electrical impulses/messages
- 7. small extensions that receive impulses
- 10. bypass processing in the brain
- 12. cells that send processed information to muscles and glands
- 13. maintains balance and coordination by processing information from muscles around skeleton and joints.
- 16. a division of the ANS that deals with "rest & digest" responses (e.g., constriction of pupils)
- 17. and example of a type of muscle that is under involuntary control
- 19. cells that detect changes from the internal or external environment
- 21. long extensions that transfer impulses
- 22. the control center of the NS
Down
- 1. where the impulse ends in this cell
- 3. division of a system that deals with involuntary contraction of muscle
- 4. a collection of axons bundled together blood vessels & connective tissues
- 6. a system connects the nerves in your body to your spinal cord and brain
- 8. division of the PNS that deals with voluntary contraction of muscle
- 9. receives impulses from receptors in blood vessels to regulate blood pressure (also regulates temperature, HR, & breathing)
- 10. are what the cells contain that allow for detection of changes in the environment
- 11. a division of the ANS that deals with "fight or flight" responses (e.g., increasing HR)
- 14. a change in the environment that elicits a response
- 15. contains the nucleus and organelles
- 18. the brain and spinal cord are part of this system
- 19. causes paralysis if this is injured
- 20. controls voluntary movement, processes different senses and stores memories
