Across
- 3. Composed of the brain and spine and processes information from the peripheral nervous system
- 5. System that converts external stimuli into a physical reactions through neurotransmitters
- 8. A Neuron activated by outside stimuli that sends information to the CNS
- 10. The body of a neuron where all the cell organelles are held
- 12. Controls voluntary movement
- 17. Hormone that increases feeling of hunger
- 18. A Neuron that carries information from the CNS to effectors cells in the PNS
- 19. The part of the neuron where the nerve impulse travels
- 20. A neurotransmitter that deals with perception of pain as well as emotional and behavioral regulation.
- 22. The parts of the neuron that are at the ends of the axons
- 23. The part of the neuron at the ends of the branches that hold the vesicles of neurotransmitters
- 24. Part of the neuron in the axon button that holds neurotransmitters to be transported
- 25. Initiates rest and digest state. Caused by Endorphins.
- 27. The part of the neuron that connects the soma to the Axon
- 28. The part of a neuron that protects the Axon
Down
- 1. Controls involuntary actions such as breathing and heart beating.
- 2. Hormone that decreases feeling of hunger
- 4. Fight or flight hormone
- 6. Initiates fight or flight reaction. Controlled by norepinephrine.
- 7. A neurotransmitter dealing with mood regulation,sleep,arousal,appetite, and digestion. Lack of this hormone can lead to anxiety and sleep issues.
- 9. Connects the central nervous system to all other nerves in the body
- 11. A Neuron that sends information within the CNS and stores and processes information
- 13. The space in between to neurons where neurotransmitters are released and recepted
- 14. Hormone that induces sleep
- 15. The parts of the neuron that receives the nerve impulse
- 16. The parts in-between the parts of the Myelin sheath where the signals jump while traveling down the axon
- 21. A neurotransmitter that deal with pain regulation, mood, and stress.
- 26. Hormone associated with love and promotes bonding
