The brain stem connects the brain to the spinal cord. It kind of looks like a tail coming out the back. It includes three parts including the posterior-most _5__, the bulb-like _6__ and anterior-most _7__. This region of the brain contains centers for breathing and heart rate. It also serves as a relay station for nerve impulses traveling between the brain and the spinal cord.
Identify the parts of a neuron or a brain that correspond to the given functions
below. The parts are found inside the grid and loop these words either
horizontally, vertically, diagonally or inversely.
1. controls the growth of a nerve cell
2. carry impulses or messages toward the cell body
3. carry messages away from the cell body
4. serves as the body’s life support system
5. coordinates muscle movement
6. responsible for mental processes
7. controls breathing, heart rate and swallowing
8. controls the movement of the eye
9. regulates breathing and helps control eye movement
10. serves as a relay station for senses
