- 3. Structure that resembles a chain of beads, involved in sympathetic nervous system
- 6. A neurotransmitter used by the parasympathetic system (Abbreviation for Acetylcholine).
- 7. The neurotransmitter used by the sympathetic nervous system (Abbreviation).
- 9. The organ that regulates heart rate, respiration, and pupil dilation.
- 11. The cranial nerve that controls tear and saliva glands (Abbreviation for Cranial Nerve VII).
- 12. System The division of the ANS that is active during rest and relaxation (two words).

- 18. The chain of ganglia located beside the vertebral column in the sympathetic system (two words).
- 19. Type of muscle stimulated by somatic nervous system
- 20. Type of muscle stimulated by autonomic nervous system
Down
- 1. The efferent pathway in the ANS involves these two types of neurons (Abbreviation.
- 2. The part of the spinal cord where sympathetic neurons originate
- 4. Serves as command center by integrating information from cerebral cortex and other brain regions
- 5. Does not directly control the ANS, but influences its activity through its connection to the hypothalamus, impacting emotional states that affect autonomic functions
- 8. The type of muscle controlled by the autonomic nervous system.
- 10. The division of the ANS that is active during stress (two words).
- 13. These types of receptors bind to acetylcholine in the parasympathetic system (Abbreviation).
- 16. Relays signals from the brain to the peripheral ANS neurons
- 17. The type of muscle controlled by the autonomic nervous system (Cardiac and smooth muscles, and glands).
