| 43. | Lobe of the brain contains the "Broca's Area"; responsible for problem solving, judgement, emotion, speech, personality and behavior, emotions | 45. | Protective covering of the brain and spinal cord composed of 3 layers: dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater | 47. | insulates the axon and increases the speed at which and impulse travels | 51. | are short, branching fibers the carry nerve impulses | 52. | Activation of this autonomic nervous system results in "fight or flight" response causing the release of norepinephrine, adrenaline, and cortisol | 53. | Autonomic nervous system sometimes referred to as the "rest and digest" system | 54. | is relay station for the senses, receiving impulses from sense organs | 58. | send impulses to your muscles and glands | 59. | gland that secretes externally through a duct | 60. | Inflammation of the brain tissue, usually from an infection | 61. | vision associated | 63. | "chemical messengers" | 64. | synthesizes hormones that regulate the body's metabolism and control the level of calcium in the blood | 65. | carries impulses away from the blood cell |
| | Down:2. | Irreversible, progressive disease slowly destroying memory & other | 3. | | 4. | Division of Nervous System primarily composed of spinal nerves, cranial nerves, and autonomic nervous system | 5. | region of the pancreas | 6. | highest level of sensory and motor processing; highest cognitive activity | 8. | Division of Nervous System primarily composed of brain and spinal cord | 9. | steroid hormone | 10. | connects the two cerebral hemispheres | 12. | small structure attached to the roof of the third ventricle in the brain | 13. | substance producing or stimulating the development of male characteristics | 15. | Found in the cerebrum composed of the thalamus, hypothalamus, amygdala, and hippocampus | 16. | gonads of the male | 17. | carries sense of smell. | 18. | Made up of 3 parts: midbrain, medulla oblongata, and pons; connects the cerebrum to the spinal cord; contains centers for autonomic functions - i.e. breathing, BP, HR, digestion | 19. | regulation of hunger, thirst, aggression, sexual behavior, and the autonomic nervous system | 20. | releases hormones involved in regulation of blood glucose levels | 22. | mass of tissue located in the upper part of the chest and under the sternum | 26. | sex glands in which gametes are made | 28. | Lobe of the brain contains the "Wernicke's Area" (understanding language); |
| 31. | frequently called the supernal gland | 32. | polypeptide hormone | 33. | endocrine glands are glands of the endocrine system that secrete their products, hormones, directly into the blood | 34. | Horseshoe shaped structure located within the temporal lobe responsible for consolidating new memories, emotional responses, and spatial orientation | 36. | arousal and attention | 37. | | 38. | pick up information about your external environment | 39. | Inherited nerve disorder affecting the brain; most common symptoms are dementia & difficulty controlling movements (chorea) | 41. | four small glands | 44. | regulates body temperature, sleep, water balance, and blood pressure | 46. | Gland located in the Third Ventricle; secretes hormones including melatonin that regulates the sleep wake cycle of the body | 48. | recognition of danger; aggression | 49. | functions in motor control, balance, cognition | 50. | stimulate growth and secretion of the cortex of the adrenal gland | 55. | antidiuretic hormone | 56. | Continuation of the brain located within the vertebral canal, protected by the vertebral column; composed of gray matter (made up of neurons) and white matter (composed of nerve cells) | 57. | inflammation of the lining surrounding the brain and spinal cord, usually due to an infection | 62. | Lobe of the brain for interpretation of language and words, spatial and visual perception |
