Down: 1) controls vital functions like blood pressure, heart rate, respiration, and digestion 2) a huge bundle of nerve fibers that connects the left and right sides of the brain 3) part of the brain associated with vision6) The endpoints of a neuron where neurotransmitters are stored until transmission to next neuron across the synapse7) the inability to understand speech due to damage in Wernicke's Area in the brain8) the part of the brain where information such as taste, temperature and touch are processed12) Information highway - carries info up to the brain and instructions back down.13) the belief that each specific part of the brain has a specific, distinct function14) divided into 4 lobes: the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe and temporal lobe.18)  the space between neurons where an impulse can transfer to another neuron22) a fatty substance that insulates some neurons (not in the brain) and speeds the transmission of nerve impulses -made from Schwann's cells24) disorder in which the main symptom is recurring seizures32) a now abandoned study of the shape of skull as indicative of the strengths of different faculties33) the bushy, branching extensions of a neuron that receive messages from other neurons and conduct impulses toward the cell body39) passes messages away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles or glands40) the study of body structure Across: 1) the part of the central nervous system that includes all the higher nervous centers4) microscopic organisms that can cause disease5) an area in the left temporal lobe that is responsible for understanding speech9) the basic unit of all living things10) contains the cell DNA, with all the basic information needed to make all the proteins of that kind of cell11) 4 fluids that doctors believed controlled health-blood, phlegm, black bile, and yellow bile15) when the body loses heat faster than it can produce heat, often leading to death by organ failure16) the invasion of the body by pathogenic microorganisms and their multiplication which can lead to tissue damage and disease17) the cell's life support center (makes protein and energy for the cell to function)19) nerve cell, the building block of the nervous system20) long metal rod used to set fuse and pack gunpowder in blasting hole21) 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.23) the deep groove that separates the 2 sides of the brain25) the cells that cover nerve fibers and form the myelin sheath around the axon of some neurons (not in the brain)26) the belief that any part of the brain could perform any of its functions27) the behavioral, temperamental, emotional and mental aspects of a person that make them unique28) electrical signals between body parts, carried by neurons (dendrite-cell body-axon)29) the brain part that controls balance, posture and coordination, allowing humans to move properly and maintain their structure30) group of similar cells that perform a particular function31) the inability to speak due to damage in Broca's Area in the brain34) electrical signal traveling down the axon35) the lobe at the front of the brain associated with reasoning, movement, speech, emotions, problem solving, planning and impulsive behavior36) showing a lack of respect37) the dead body of a human being; corpse38) using explosives to destroy or break up masses like rock41) gaps between the myelin sheath of an axon42) Chemical substances that carry signals from one neuron to another43) an area of the left frontal lobe that is responsible for speech production44) part of the brain associated with memory, perception and recognition of sound, and parts of speech
