Across
- 6. Brain wave Associated with deep relaxation, daydreaming, and is sometimes called the “twilight zone” because it is experienced between waking and sleeping.
- 7. Another name for interoceptorsnvolved with self-awareness and the detection of internal sensations such as heartbeat, breathing, hunger, satiety, thirst, and the urge to defecate or urinate
- 8. Produce the fatty myelin sheath around axons in the PNS and are similar to oligodendrocytes of the CNS
- 16. Receive stimuli from the external environment, are distributed in the skin and mucosa, and are largely associated with the five senses (sight, smell, hearing, taste, and skin)
- 17. Surrounds some neurons and plays an important role in the inflammation process and in repairing damage to the PNS following injury.
- 18. Can be excitatory or inhibitory; involved in motor control regulation and reward-motivated behaviors, especially those involving pleasure. Nicknamed “the pleasure hormone. lacking in those with Parkinson's
- 20. Found in the CNS and Pineal glands. Mostly inhibitory; action is similar to opiates, a pain-reducing agent Get after running
- 24. Brainwave The fastest and associated with inwardly-focused concentration, high-level information processing, problem-solving, and learning
- 26. __________Conduction Nerve impulse along an unmyleinated axon
- 28. Similar to epinephrine, can be excitatory or inhibitory; also a hormone secreted by the adrenal medulla; mediates several physiologic and metabolic responses of the autonomic nervous system or “fight-or-flight” response; also increases arousal and alertness, promotes vigilance, enhances formation and retrieval of memory, and focuses attention
- 32. This hemisphere specializes in visual and spatial relationships, musical abilities, and emotional expression.
- 33. Mostly inhibitory and important for sensory perception, mood regulation (contributes to feelings of well-being and happiness), and sleep. Nicknamed “the happy hormone.”
- 34. Part of the brain controls somatosensory information (e.g., pressure, warmth, pain), motor responses, cognition, memory, language, intelligence, emotions, vision, smell, taste, and hearing. The surface of the brain is highly convoluted and consists of sulci (depressions or fissures) and gyri (elevations or ridges)
- 35. This lobe is hidden by parts of the frontal, parietal, and temporal lobes. This area is believed to be involved in consciousness, self-awareness, and interpersonal experience. The insula also plays a role in maintaining homeostasis by regulating the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the ANS systems and may play a role in immune reactions
- 36. Projections that receive and transmit the impulse toward the cell body.
- 37. Can be excitatory or inhibitory; vital for stimulating muscle contraction and the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system; also involved with memory and motivation
- 38. Beneath the cauda equina is the _______ which stabilizes the spinal cord by anchoring it to the coccyx
- 39. Cell bodies in the CNS
- 40. A type of interoceptor in muscles, tendons, and joints. These detect body movement and body position.
- 41. This lobe is a major cerebral cortex region located at the top-rear of the brain, essential for integrating sensory information, including touch, temperature, pain, and pressure. It plays a critical role in spatial awareness, navigation, proprioception (body position), and language processing. has pre central gyrus
Down
- 1. Found in the CNS and adrenal glands. Mostly inhibitory; action is similar to opiates, a pain-reducing agent
- 2. Mostly excitatory; transmits pain information and associated with regulation of mood disorders, anxiety, and stress; associated with inflammatory processes
- 3. Lines ventricles in the CNS that helps circulate CSF.
- 4. bundles of nerve fibers in the CNS.
- 5. Can be excitatory or inhibitory; hormone-like action when secreted by the adrenal medulla; stimulates the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system, or “fight-or-flight” response; involved in long-term memory, especially of stressful events
- 9. Mostly excitatory; involved in sleep–wake regulation, body temperature regulation, pain perception, endocrine regulation, and appetite regulation; histamine stimulates inflammatory responses when not acting as a neurotransmitter
- 10. Monitors the health of the neuron and can destroy and remove cellular debris and harmful microorganisms. These cells become hyperactive during disease-related processes, including Alzheimer disease
- 11. The slowest brainwave and associated with sleep.
- 12. response to a stimulus that causes a neuron to depolarize, so it can transmit nerve impulses to other neurons, muscles, or glands.
- 13. This hemisphere specializes in processing language (both receptive and expressive), analytic skills, and abstract thinking
- 14. Cell bodies n the PNS
- 15. Reason brain injuries effect the other side of the body
- 19. _______Conduction. Nerve impulse conduction along myelinated axons
- 21. system complex set of brain structures located beneath the cerebrum that acts as the "emotional command center," managing emotions, long-term memory, behaviors, and motivation. It is crucial for survival, regulating fight-or-flight responses, feeding, reproduction, and scent processing.
- 22. This lobe affects hearing, taste, smell, memory storage
- 23. Another name for interneuron
- 25. Brain wave Associated with calmness and relaxation.
- 27. he thin outermost layer of the cerebrum
- 29. bundles of nerve fibers in the PNS
- 30. Produce the insulating myelin sheath around axons within the CNS
- 31. Brainwave Associated with alertness and outwardly-focused concentration.
