Week 5 Worksheet Chapters 9 13, 17 and 20 ACROSS 5 The division of the autonomic nervous system that controls the series of physiological responses that are collectively called the "fight-or-flight" response. 7 A sequence of rapidly occurring events that decrease and reverse the membrane potential and then eventually restore it to the resting state. 8 Chemical substances found in food that body cells use for growth, maintenance, and repair. 9 Since most body cells have receptors for thyroid hormones, the hormones increase this; which is the rate of oxygen consumption at rest after an overnight fast (three words). 11 A nonspecific, defensive response of the body to tissue damage whose signs and symptoms include redness, pain, heat, and swelling. 13 A molecule that is released from synaptic vesicles and serves as the means of communication from one neuron to the next or from a neuron to an effector cell. 14 Transport vehicles that function to remove excess cholesterol from body cells and transport it to the liver for elimination (three words). 17 Specialized cells that ingest microbes or other particles such as cellular debris. 18 The division of the autonomic nervous system that controls the series of physiological responses that are collectively called the "rest-and-digest" response. 21 The hormone secreted by the pineal gland that contributes to setting the body's biological clock. 22 The portion of the brain that provides us with the ability to read, write, and speak; to make calculations and compose music; to remember the past and plan for the future; and to create. 23 The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of water one degree Celsius. 24 The multi-layered covering composed of lipid and protein that surrounds most of the axons of the human body (two words). 25 In contrast to the nervous system, which controls body activities through the release of neurotransmitters at synapses, this system releases hormones into interstitial fluid and then into the bloodstream.
