Across
- 3. junctions between 2 neurons
- 4. transmit neural messages from cell body toward another neuron
- 5. second largest part of brain, responsible for coordination of movement
- 6. serves as a link between nervous and endocrine systems, regulates temperature, circadian rhythm
- 8. bridge to other parts of brain, nerve fibers passion between medulla and other parts of brain
- 9. peripheral nervous system (made up of sensory receptors
- 10. highly branched fibers that extend from the cell body, recieves neural impulses and transmit to cell body
- 11. receives information from the thalamus about what to see, and integrates information to make a response
- 12. shortest portion of brainstem, contains centers for visual and auditory reflexes
- 14. central nervous system, contains brain and spinal cord
- 15. cell bodies attached to axons of nerves are grouped into this (plural, ganglia)
Down
- 1. largest part of brain
- 2. communicate with neurons, cells protect and support neurons
- 7. axon divides into these terminal branches, release neurotransmitters
- 13. highly specialized to receive and transmit electrical and chemical signals
