- 9. sixth cranial nerve - lateral movements of the eyeball
- 10. mostly made of gray matter; the nuclei relay sensory and motor signals
- 13. cranial nerve - three main branches of facial nerves
- 14. located behind the ears - processes auditory information and coding memory
- 16. the tough outermost membrane enveloping the brain and spinal cord
- 17. the link between the medulla oblongata and the thalamus
- 18. located in the back of the skull - function is to coordinate and regulate muscular activity
- 19. clusters of nerve cell bodies found throughout the body
Down
- 1. front-most part of brain -voluntary movement and language
- 3. a network of blood vessels in each ventricle of the brain
- 4. the delicate innermost membrane envelopig the brain and spinal cord
- 7. third pair of cranial nerves - supplies the muscles within the eyeballs
- 8. the second cranial nerve that is responsible for transmitting visual information
- 11. top of head - main purpose is processing sensory information
- 12. a large network of nerve fibers in the brain that exchanges information between different areas of the brain
- 13. fourth pair of cranial nerves - oblique muscle of eyeball (looks like a tiny thread)
- 15. main function is to transmit information from the hippocampus to the mammillary bodies/anterior nucleus of the thalamus
