Across
  1. 5. passes messages away from the cell body
  2. 7. send signals that stimulate the cell and increases likelihood to fire action potential
  3. 9. branch of psychology having to do with biology and behavior
  4. 10. nerves that carry signals away from the central nervous system
  5. 12. sends signals to calm the cell and decreases likelihood to fire an action potential
  6. 13. basic building block of the nervous system
  7. 14. forms junctions with other cells
  8. 18. PNS
  9. 20. the cells life support center
  10. 21. the whole neurotransmitter molecule is taken back into the axon terminal that released it
  11. 22. the system that controls the body's skeletal muscles
  12. 23. intersection between the axon tip of the sending neuron and the dendrite of the receiving neuron
  13. 24. this division of the autonomic nervous system increases salvation, activates digestion, and decreases the secretion of stress hormones
  14. 25. contain neurotransmitters and are located in the axon terminals
  15. 26. intervene between sensory inputs and motor outputs
Down
  1. 1. abnormal response to the bodys immune system
  2. 2. the division of the autonomic nervous system that arouses the body
  3. 3. receives messages from other cells
  4. 4. these carry outgoing information
  5. 6. these carry incoming information
  6. 8. CNS
  7. 11. they mimic the neurotransmitters and increases the production of them
  8. 15. they block the receptor sites and decrease the production of neurotransmitters
  9. 16. when you strike the patella it stimulates receptors in the quadriceps muscle in the thigh
  10. 17. chemical messengers that carry messages between neurons
