down:

1. sensory neurons
2. area of the brain that receives information regarding temperature and touch
3. nervous system consisting of the brain and spinal cord
4. created by depolarization within a cell
5. nervous system consisting of the nerves throughout the body
6. area that controls movements for speech
7. division of the nervous system that controls voluntary muscle movement
8. neuron that sends impulses from the brain and spinal cord to the body

across:

1. thick, outermost brain covering
2. cell that conducts impulses for communication
3. allows neurons to transmit action potentials faster
4. division of the nervous system that subconsciously controls bodily mechanisms
5. brain area receiving information to process hearing

Explanation:

1. Down - 1: Sensory neurons are neurons that detect stimuli and send signals to the central nervous system.
2. Down - 2: The somatosensory cortex is the area of the brain that receives information regarding temperature and touch.
3. Down - 3: The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord.
4. Down - 4: An action potential is created by depolarization within a cell.
5. Down - 5: The peripheral nervous system consists of the nerves throughout the body.
6. Down - 9: Broca's area controls movements for speech.
7. Down - 10: The somatic nervous system controls voluntary muscle movement.
8. Down - 11: Motor neurons send impulses from the brain and spinal cord to the body.
9. Across - 6: The dura mater is the thick, outermost brain covering.
10. Across - 7: Neurons are cells that conduct impulses for communication.
11. Across - 8: Myelin allows neurons to transmit action potentials faster.
12. Across - 12: The autonomic nervous system subconsciously controls bodily mechanisms.
13. Across - 13: The auditory cortex is the brain area receiving information to process hearing.
