Across
- 1. Known as “rest and digest” which constricts the pupils, slows the heart rate, and stimulates digestion.
- 6. Located in the back of the brain that contains 10% of the brain's volume.
- 8. Sends electrochemical signals through the spinal cord which gives breathing, movement,digestion, and sensation.
- 14. Controls talking & walking and receives sensory information.
- 16. A clear liquid that cushions and surrounds the spinal cord and the brain.
- 18. Processes almost all of the motor sensory signals.
- 19. Makes the body respond to sensory information, receive, and process.
- 20. Known as the command center that matches actions and sends electrical signals to the brain & spinal cord.
- 22. Protects the spinal cord and the brain and are filled with cerebrospinal fluid.
- 23. Controls digestion, heartrate, sexual arousal, respiration, and blood pressure.
- 24. A person who treats various conditions and makes diagnoses by putting in thin needles into a certain place on the body to raise the levels of the central nervous system and to boost natural healing.
- 25. Connects the hindbrain to the forebrain.
Down
- 2. A person who manages the safety, pain, and vital functions after, before, and during a procedural or surgical care on a patient.
- 3. The largest part of the brain that deals with voluntary movements, thoughts, memory, and language.
- 4. A person who puts pressure with their thumbs, devices, or their fingers to the body to reduce stress, promote healing, and relieve pain.
- 5. A ganglia and an arrangement of nerves outside of the spinal cord and brain.
- 7. Part of the forebrain which contains the ventral thalamus, the third ventricle, epithalamus, hypothalamus, and thalamus.
- 9. The region of the forebrain below the thalamus which controls the body temperature, hunger, thirst, involved in emotional activity & sleep, and control other homeostatic systems.
- 10. Controls sleep, facial senses & movements, and breathing.
- 11. The “fight-or-flight” part of the nervous system that prepares the body for when stressful situations happen when this happens the body increases heart rate, alertness, and blood pressure while this happens it also slows down digestion.
- 12. A bundle of nerve tissue connected to the barin and extends to the bones on the back of the body.
- 13. Has the three protective layers of membranes such as the pia mater (inner), arachnoid mater (middle), and the dura mater (outer).
- 15. Necessary units of the nervous system, these transmit information throughout the organism using chemical and electrical signals
- 17. Known as the command center.
- 21. The lowest part of the brainstem used for survival, controlling heart rate, digestion, blood pressure, and swallowing.
