Lesson 5 - Nervous System and Sense Organs Flashcards
there are different types of __ __ across the invertebrate groups
nervous systems
adaptations in invertebrates
special sensory
Three types of nervous system in invertebrates
- Simple nervous system
- Ganglia-based nervous system
- Complex nervous system
mini brains of simpler animals
ganglia
nervous systems contribute to __
adaptations
Simple Nervous Systems
- Nerve Net
- Radial Nerve System
- a diffuse network of neurons with no central brain
- simple reflexes and behaviors
- present in cnidarians
nerve net
what does the nerve net allow
simple reflexes and behavior
where are nerve nets present
cnidarians
nerve nets allow cnidarians to respond to stimuli in __ __
every direction
- nerve cords without a true brain
- central nerve ring that coordinates movement
- allows coordination of limbs independently
- present in echinoderms
radial nerve system
radial nerve system
radial nerve cords without a true brain
coordinates movement in radial nerve system
central nerve ring
where is the radial nerve system present
echinoderms
Ganglia-Based Nervous Systems
- Bilateral type
- Centralized brain, segmented ganglia
- bilateral symmetry with nerve cords and cerebral ganglia
- ganglia acts as a simple brain coordinating body movement
- require a more organized system
- present in flatworms
bilateral type
bilateral type
- bilateral symmetry with
- nerve cords and
- cerebral ganglia
acts as a simple brain coordinating body movement in the bileral type
ganglia
where is bilateral type present
flatworms
Parts of the bilateral types
- cerebral ganglia
- longitudinal nerve cords
- transverse commissure
- peripheral nerve plexus
- complex behaviors due to more developed nervous systems
- present in arthropods
centralized brain, segmented ganglia
what do organisms with centralized brain, segemented ganglia have
complex behaviors
where are centralized brain, segmented ganglia present
arthropods
example of advanced behavior of organisms with centralized brain and segmented ganglia
- rapid motion
- swimming
- flying
