- 3. the part of the peripheral nervous system that regulates activities that are involuntary, or not under conscious control; made up of the sympathetic and parasympathetic subdivisions
- 5. the sensory receptor, sensory neuron, motor neuron, and effector that are involved in a quick response to a stimulus
- 8. the part of the brain responsible for voluntary activities of the body' the "THINKING" region of the brain
- 11. a part of the NS that includes the brain and spinal cord; PROCESSES information and creates a response that it delivers to the body
- 12. point at which a neuron can transfer an impulse to another cell
- 13. Long fiber that carries impulses away from the cell body of a neuron
- 14. part of the brain that coordinates movement and controls balance
Down
- 1. the portion of the brain that acts as a control center for recognition and analysis of hunger, thirst, fatigue, anger, and body temperature
- 4. an extension of the cell body of a neuron that carries impulses from the environment or from other neurons toward the cell body
- 6. part of NS that includes a network of nerves and supporting cells that carries signals into and out of the central nervous system
- 7. structure that connects the brain and spinal cord; includes the medulla oblongata and the pons
- 9. a neurotransmitter that is associated with the brain's pleasure and reward center
- 10. the part of the peripheral nervous system that carries signals to and from skeletal muscles
