Across
  1. 8. serves as an integration point for sensory impulses
  2. 9. Impulses in this system return the body to normal after an emergency has occurred.
  3. 12. Influence the development of the T-lymphocytes of the immune system
  4. 15. Promote secondary male characteristics. Testosterone is an important androgen
  5. 16. acts as a bridge between various portions of the brain
  6. 19. Stimulates contractions in the muscles of the uterus during birth
  7. 22. completes the maturation of the follicle and stimulates the formation of the corpus luteum
  8. 23. Stimulates water reabsorption in the kidneys. It is also called vasopressin
  9. 24. Promotes body growth by accelerating protein synthesis
  10. 25. It consists of a collection of crossing nerve tracts and is the site of the reticular formation, a group of fibers that arouse the forebrain when something unusual happens
  11. 27. a hormone that regulates the rate of metabolism in the body
  12. 28. synthesizes hormones for storage in the pituitary gland
  13. 29. Controls the secretion of hormones from the adrenal glands
  14. 30. the swelling at the tip of the brain that serves as the passageway for nerves extending to and from the brain
  15. 31. Control secretions of hormones from the thyroid gland
  16. 33. serves as a coordinating center for motor activity; that is, it coordinates muscle contractions
Down
  1. 1. Stimulates production of the pigment melanin
  2. 2. regulates calcium metabolism in the body by increasing calcium reabsorption in the kidneys and by increasing the uptake of calcium from the digestive system
  3. 3. Stimulates the breakdown of glycogen to glucose in the liver.
  4. 4. stimulates the development of a follicle, which contains the egg cell; in males, the hormone stimulates sperm production
  5. 5. Increases heart rate, blood pressure, and the blood supply to skeletal muscles
  6. 6. Impulses propagated in this system prepare the body for an emergency.
  7. 7. a collection of structures that ring the edge of the brain and apparently function as centers of emotion.
  8. 10. a protein that promotes the passage of glucose molecules into the body cells and regulates glucose metabolism
  9. 11. consists of the hindbrain,midbrain, forebrain
  10. 13. encourage the development of secondary female characteristics
  11. 14. Regulate mating behaviors and day-night cycles
  12. 15. Control mineral metabolism in the body
  13. 17. A white cord of tissue passing through the bony tunnel made by the vertebrae
  14. 18. regulates the level of calcium in the blood
  15. 20. Intensifies the effects of epinephrine
  16. 21. Carries impulses from the external environment and the senses.
  17. 26. Promotes breast development and milk secretion in females
  18. 32. contains creases and furrows called convolutions that permit the cerebral hemisphere to accommodate more than 10 billion cells
