Across
  1. 3. Matter groups of neuron cell bodies and their dendrites
  2. 6. Sclerosis(MS) A disease in which the immune system eats away at the protective covering of nerves. Can cause vision loss, fatigue, pain and impaired coordination
  3. 8. Help remove bacteria and cell debris from the CNS
  4. 10. A condition in which the tissue connecting muscle to bone becomes inflamed.
  5. 13. Distemper infectious viral, airborne disease target the nasal and ocular discharge
  6. 15. Attack a blockage of blood flow to the heart. Usually occurs because of a blood clot.
  7. 16. symptoms include trouble walking, speaking, and understanding as well as numbness of the face.
  8. 19. a condition of shortening and hardening of muscles, tendons, or other tissue, often leading to deformity and rigidity of joints.
  9. 20. cell processes that form myelin sheaths around axons in the CNS
  10. 23. clusters of gray matter located deep within the brain
  11. 27. Fiber that carries messages from other neurons to the nerve cell body
  12. 28. Disease A disorder of the central nervous system that affects movement, often including tremors. Caused by nerve cell damage in the brain
  13. 29. Disease a progressive disease that destroys memory and other important mental functions. Affects brain function, memory and behavior
  14. 31. palsy impairment or loss of motor function as a result of brain damage
  15. 33. cells that line the fluid filled cavities within the CNS
  16. 36. Division prepares the person for physical activity
  17. 38. fiber that carries messages away from the nerve cell
  18. 39. Palsy sudden weakness in the muscles on one half of the face that can be caused by a viral infection
  19. 40. gray matter on the surface of the brain
Down
  1. 1. type of neuroglia that serves as the major supporting tissue in the CNS
  2. 2. a cluster of neuron cell bodies in the PNS
  3. 4. Nervous System consists of all the neuron cell bodies and processes outside of the brain and spinal cord(PNS)
  4. 5. tracts pathways that move action potentials from one area in the CNS to another
  5. 7. a disease in which abnormal cells divide uncontrollably and destroy body tissue
  6. 9. a brain disorder in which nerve cell activity in the brain is disturbed leading to trauma or a stroke.
  7. 11. inflammatory disease characterized by muscle weakness and a distinctive rash
  8. 12. Widespread muscle pain and tenderness
  9. 14. barrier astrocytes and the blood vessel endothelium form this permeability barrier
  10. 17. part of the brain that controls balance and body motion
  11. 18. Division Activates function such as digestion or respiration
  12. 21. zoonotic infectious bacterial disease
  13. 22. Nervous System Consists of the brain and spinal cord(CNS)
  14. 24. Gravis(MG) A weakness and rapid fatigue of muscles under voluntary control.
  15. 25. Nerve glue(5 types)
  16. 26. Cells form myelin sheaths around axons in the PNS
  17. 30. Nerve Cell
  18. 32. viral disease caused by the bit of an infected animal, attacks the CNS, no treatment
  19. 34. atrophy when muscles begin to waste away
  20. 35. Equina Syndrome when something is compressing on the spinal nerve roots may cause paralysis of the legs
  21. 37. Neuron disease(MND) affects the nerves in the brain and spinal cord that tell your muscles what to do. messages from these nerves gradually stop reaching the muscles, leading them to weaken, stiffen and waste.
