there is not a ventral nerve cord
ventral nerve cord
an earthworm's nerve cord is directly opposite that of a human's. the earthworm's nerve cord is along the ventral side (underside) of its body and the human's nerve cord is on the dorsal side (upperside) of the body along all of the internal organs
The ventral nerve cord runs throughout an earthworm's body. When they start to branch from ganglion the nerve cords are still present throughout the segments.
No, they only have a ventral blood vessel.
The ventral nerve cord makes up nearly all of the nervous system in the earthworm. It goes from the anterior (front) end to the posterior (back) end. It's function is simple; it's the nerves in the worm! If dissected, the nerve cord looks like a thin white line on the ventral (belly) side on the inside of the skin.
It't the Ganglia (brain)
The central nerve cord in an earthworm is located on the ventral side of its body, running along the underside. It is part of the earthworm's nervous system and helps in coordinating movement and responses to stimuli.
An earthworm has a paired brain attach to it nerve cord, that flows to its ganglia. The Clitellum ( the ring or band on the worm) is were the worm senses things. An earthworm can also not feel pain.
The Nervous Organs in an Earthworm include: * The brain * The ventral nerve cord I hope this informaton is helpful to you!! =)
The ventral side of an earthworm refers to the underside of its body. It is the side that is typically lighter in color and is in contact with the ground as the earthworm moves. You can identify the ventral side by looking for the earthworm's central nerve cord running along its length.
