Earthworms
-The nervous system of an earth worm is centered around its cerebral ganglion, or brain.
- An earthworm's body is divided into segments.
- The ventral nerve cord runs throughout the entire body and connects all segments to the brain
- Each segment has its own ganglion. These must interact and communicate for movement.
- Earthworms are very sensitive to light and touch. Their body is covered with mucus to protect their skin.
