Across
- 2. - structure that receives the impulses
- 4. - a neurotransmitter that enables neurons to communicate with other cells
- 8. - the nervous system’s way of passing along information
- 12. - provide crucial metabolic support, maintain nerve homeostasis, and orchestrate nerve regeneration after injury by forming repair pathways
- 14. - acts as the primary receiver of incoming information, collecting chemical and electrical signals from other neurons
- 15. - the neuron that receives chemical or electrical signals from the presynaptic neuron across a synapse.
- 17. - carries electrical impulses and is in the nervous system
- 18. - transmit signals from the central nervous system to muscles and glands, controlling all movements
Down
- 1. - the neuron that sends signals to the postsynaptic neuron across the synapse.
- 3. - transmits electrical impulses away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands
- 5. - The body's main control center that processes information and directs motor response
- 6. - drastically increases the speed of electrical signal conduction, allowing rapid communication between neurons
- 7. - controls muscle movements, regulates body functions, and relays sensory data back to the brain
- 9. - the places where neurons connect and communicate with each other.
- 10. - detects and receive, chemical or physical signals into cellular responses, acting as essential mediators of communication
- 11. - act as intermediaries, allowing sensory and motor neurons to communicate
- 13. - convert external and internal environmental stimuli—such into electrical signals
- 16. - make you able to feel sensory information
