What do sea stars have
a set of radial nerves connecting to a central nerve ring
what do nerves do
channel and organize information flow through the nervous sstem
what do bilaterally symmetrical animals exhibit
cephalization

what do flatworms have
a central nervous system (CNS)
what does the central nervous system consist of
a brain and longitudinal nerve cords
consists of neurons carrying information into and out of the CNS
peripheral nervous system (PNS)
what does the PNS consist of
neurons that cary info in and out of the CNS
What do annelids and arthropods have
ganglia
segmentally arranged clusters of neurons
ganglia
ganglia
segmentally arranged clusters of neurons
The CNS in vertebrates
composed of the brain and spinal cord
The PNS in vertebrates
is composed of nerves and ganglia
have numerous functions to nourish, support, and regulate neurons
glial cells (glia)
glial cells
have numerous functions to nourish, support, and regulate neurons
form tracks where newly formed neurons migrate
embryonic radial glia
embryonic radial glia
form tracks where newly formed neurons migrate
induce cells lining capillaries in the CNS to form tight junctions
astrocytes
