8. An automatic response that cannot be controlled is called a ____________________.
9. The main control center of the nervous system that is protected by the skull. ________________.
10. The part of the brain that controls breathing, heartbeat, and other involuntary functions is called
the ____________________________.
11. Neurons that serve as links between motor and sensory neurons are called
_______________________________.
12. The part of the brain deals with emotions and feelings. This is also called the reward system.
_______________________________.
13. The nervous system that is made up of the brain and spinal cord is called the
__________________________ nervous system.
14. The _________________________ is made up of nerves that branch out from the brain and
spinal cord. It carries messages from the central nervous system to the rest of the body.

Bonus:
We learned that neurons communicate with each other using neurotransmitters. Name the
neurotransmitter that we discussed in class. ______________________________________
