Down: 1) disorder in which the main symptom is recurring seizures2) the dead body of a human being; corpse3) electrical signals between body parts, carried by neurons (dendrite-cell body-axon)4) the lobe at the front of the brain associated with reasoning, movement, speech, emotions, problem solving, planning and impulsive behavior5) the belief that any part of the brain could perform any of its functions8) the cell's life support center (makes protein and energy for the cell to function)9) divided into 4 lobes: the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe and temporal lobe.13) Chemical substances that carry signals from one neuron to another14) 4 fluids that doctors believed controlled health-blood, phlegm, black bile, and yellow bile16) the inability to speak due to damage in Broca's Area in the brain19) the invasion of the body by pathogenic microorganisms and their multiplication which can lead to tissue damage and disease20) microscopic organisms that can cause disease22) the bushy, branching extensions of a neuron that receive messages from other neurons and conduct impulses toward the cell body24) showing a lack of respect25) the basic unit of all living things26) an area in the left temporal lobe that is responsible for understanding speech27) the inability to understand speech due to damage in Wernicke's Area in the brain31) the behavioral, temperamental, emotional and mental aspects of a person that make them unique32) contains the cell DNA, with all the basic information needed to make all the proteins of that kind of cell Across: 6) long metal rod used to set fuse and pack gunpowder in blasting hole7) when the body loses heat faster than it can produce heat, often leading to death by organ failure10) the brain part that controls balance, posture and coordination, allowing humans to move properly and maintain their structure11) part of the brain associated with memory, perception and recognition of sound, and parts of speech12) the part of the central nervous system that includes all the higher nervous centers15) the belief that each specific part of the brain has a specific, distinct function17) gaps between the myelin sheath of an axon18) group of similar cells that perform a particular function21) the study of body structure23) using explosives to destroy or break up masses like rock28) a fatty substance that insulates some neurons (not in the brain) and speeds the transmission of nerve impulses -made from Schwann's cells29) nerve cell, the building block of the nervous system30) Neurotransmitters (chemicals) are released into the synapse from the axon terminal of a charged neuron. Binding of the neurotransmitter to dendrites on the next cell causes the chemical message to become electrical. The electrical charge travels down the axon to the terminals where the charge then releases the chemical neurotransmitter into the synapse. The cycle repeats through the neurons.33) part of the brain associated with vision34) The endpoints of a neuron where neurotransmitters are stored until transmission to next neuron across the synapse35) passes messages away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles or glands36) the part of the brain where information such as taste, temperature and touch are processed37) a now abandoned study of the shape of skull as indicative of the strengths of different faculties38) the deep groove that separates the 2 sides of the brain39) electrical signal traveling down the axon40) a huge bundle of nerve fibers that connects the left and right sides of the brain 41) an area of the left frontal lobe that is responsible for speech production42)  the space between neurons where an impulse can transfer to another neuron43) the cells that cover nerve fibers and form the myelin sheath around the axon of some neurons (not in the brain)44) controls vital functions like blood pressure, heart rate, respiration, and digestion 45) Information highway - carries info up to the brain and instructions back down.
