Nervous System

3. The nervous tissue that conducts messages between the brain and the peripheral body parts.
5. is the division of the nervous system containing all the nerves that lie outside of the central nervous system
6. The part of the nervous system consisting of the brain and spinal cord.
7. The white fatty membrane that protects the neuron.
8. the region of the brain that controls involuntary activities.
11. part of the neuron that receives nerve impulses and transmits them toward the cell body.
12. variety of glial cells that keep peripheral nerve fibers alive.
14. allow neurons to transmit electrical and chemical signals to other cells.
15. An electrochemical pulse that moves along the membrane of a neuron.
16. is the posterior stalk-like part of the brain that connects the cerebrum with the spinal cord
17. are attached to bones by tendons, and they produce all the movements of body parts in relation to each other.
20. The part of the brain containing motor and sensory centers: controls voluntary movement.

1. Part of the brain that monitors and adjusts body activities.
2. triggers the release of neurotransmitters from the axon into the synapse.
4. The chemicals responsible for extending the nerve impulse from one cell to the next one.
9. Part of the brain, relay center between spinal cord and brain, reflex center.
10. for example sweating as a response to an increase in temperature (involuntary actions).
13. The junction between the axon and dendrite.
18. The series of neurons that produces a single reaction in response to a stimulus.
19. the functional unit of the nervous system. The cell receives and distributes nerve impulses.
