7
|
Includes your brain and spinal cord, responsible for processing the chemical signals sent from the body
|
|
8
|
Part of the central nervous system allows for quicker transmission of information - Reflexes
|
|
9
|
Electrical impulses in the neuron that carries information
|
|
10
|
Part of the brain that controls involuntary functions such as breathing, controlling blood pressure, and swallowing
|
|
11
|
Allows us to receive information from our surroundings through our 5 senses
|
|
12
|
Part of the brain that controls balance, movement, and coordination – how your muscles work together
|
|
15
|
Carries chemical signals (information) to the brain
|
|
16
|
Converts the electrical impulse back into a chemical signal which is sent out of the cell
|
|
17
|
Produces energy and other essential molecules for life
|
|
18
|
Specialized neurons that respond to changes in the environment
|
|
19
|
Responsible for carrying signals from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body
|
|
20
|
Wraps around the axon; ensures signals are sent quickly and accurately
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1
|
A thing or event that causes a specific reaction

|
3
|
Cells of the nervous system that link together to form nerves
|
|
4
|
The way that your body reacts to your surroundings
|
|
5
|
Transmits (moves) information throughout the body; includes all of the nerves

|
6
|
Largest part of the brain. Controls voluntary muscle movements
|
|
13
|
Sends messages between the sense organs (skin, eyes, ears, nose, and tongue) and the brain
|
|
14
|
Part of the central nervous system; responsible for processing the information it receives from the nerves
|
|
21
|
