Across
- 4. Chemicals released by neurons that stimulate other neurons, muscles or glands.
- 5. Neuron that conducts impulses away from the CNS to muscles and glands
- 6. Neuron that conducts impulses toward the CNS from the peripheral body
- 9. Increases the speed of impulse transmission
- 10. Specialized cells that myelinate the fibers of neurons in the PNS
- 12. Conducts electrical currents away from the cell body
- 13. Releases Neurotransmitters
- 14. Subdivision of the PNS that controls voluntary activities such as the activation of skeletal muscles.
- 15. Nervous system subdivision that is composed of the brain and spinal cord.
- 16. Subdivision of the PNS that regulates the heart, glands, and smooth muscle; all involuntarily
- 17. Nervous system subdivision that is composed of the cranial, spinal, and other nerves and ganglia
Down
- 1. Information exchange
- 2. Ion flow across the neuron membrane occurs here - between myelin
- 3. Accepts electrical impulses from other cells and towards the cell body
- 7. Body Location of the nucleus
- 8. neuron that serves as a link between sensory and motor neurons. Communicates between other neurons. Found in the brain and spinal cord.
- 10. pumps 3 sodium out and 2 potassium in
- 11. Junction or point of close contact between neurons
