About this nervous system crossword
Four Across answers cross four Down answers about nerve cells, signal connections, insulation and selected brain regions. This 10×9 criss-cross distinguishes a single cell from a bundle of fibers, and two similarly named brain regions from each other. Use the functions and crossing letters to check spelling. It covers selected vocabulary rather than a complete body-system course. This standalone practice puzzle has its own matching printable answer key.
