Across
  1. 4. impairment to perform voluntary movements
  2. 7. release acetylcholine for parasympathetic responses
  3. 10. responsible for maintaining posture and muscle tone and regulating voluntary smooth muscle activity; depleted in parkinsons
  4. 11. a drug that produces sleep
  5. 12. release norepinephrine for sympathetic responses
  6. 14. neurotransmitter of the autonomic nervous system that causes vasoconstriction, increased HR, pupillary dilation; released from adrenergic fibers
  7. 15. the inability to sleep
  8. 17. signals from the CNS to the body to tell you what you are sensing
  9. 20. part of the autonomic nervous system that is responsible for slowing down normal responses; the "rest-and-digest response"
  10. 21. agents used to optimize motor function and decrease symptoms in parkinsons
  11. 23. progressive disease effecting older adults; most common type of dementia; including cognitive dysfunction, psychiatric and behavioral problems, and issues with ADLs
Down
  1. 1. chronic, progressive disorder of CNS; symptoms include tremors, slow movement, & muscle weakness

  11. 18. series of segments within the nerve
  12. 19. nervous system is made up of all the other nerves in the body that branch out from the spinal cord; carrying signals to the brain and then to body parts that allow you to move
  13. 22. uncontrolled shaking
  14. 23. part of the peripheral nervous system; controls most tissue functions (GI motility, vessel constriction/dilation, works automatically); maintains homeostasis and responds to emergency situations
