Across
  1. 1. A neuron connecting sensory neurons to motor neurons within the CNS
  2. 5. A chemical messenger that crosses the synaptic gap between neurons
  3. 6. A neurotransmitter that decreases the likelihood of a neuron firing
  4. 9. A reflex response to perceived threat involving physiological changes
  5. 10. A neuron carrying information from sensory receptors to the CNS
  6. 11. Part of the adrenal gland that releases adrenaline into the bloodstream
  7. 14. The master gland controlling other endocrine glands
  8. 16. The division of the ANS that restores the body to resting state after stress
  9. 19. The long fibre that carries impulses away from the cell body of a neuron
  10. 20. A fatty layer surrounding the axon to protect it and speed up transmission
  11. 21. The division of the ANS that prepares the body for fight or flight
  12. 23. Chemical messengers released by glands affecting organs and behaviour
  13. 24. The network of nerves outside the CNS carrying messages to and from the body
Down
  1. 2. The part of the PNS controlling automatic functions like breathing and heart rate
  2. 3. A neurotransmitter that increases the likelihood of a neuron firing
  3. 4. The brain and spinal cord responsible for processing and responding to information
  4. 7. Brain area detecting threats and triggering the stress response
  5. 8. A system of glands that secrete hormones into the bloodstream
  6. 12. A neuron carrying signals from the CNS to muscles and glands
  7. 13. The process where neurotransmitters carry signals across a synapse
  8. 15. A hormone released by the adrenal glands preparing the body for fight or flight
  9. 17. The part of the PNS responsible for voluntary movement of skeletal muscles
  10. 18. Branch-like structures that receive messages from other neurons
  11. 22. A specialised cell transmitting electrical impulses in the nervous system
