Cephalopods are widely regarded as the most intelligent of the invertebrates, and have well developed senses and large brains (larger than those of gastropods). The nervous system of cephalopods is the most complex of the invertebrates and cephalopods is the most complex of the invertebrates and their brain-to-body-mass ratio falls between that of warm- and cold-blooded vertebrates.The brain is protected in a cartilaginous cranium. The giant nerve fibers of the cephalopod mantle have been widely used as experimental material in neurophysiology for many years; their large diameter (due to lack of myelination) makes them relatively easy to study. Cephalopods are social creatures; when isolated from their own kind, they will take to shoaling with fish. Some cephalopods are able to fly through air for distances up to 50 m. While the organisms are not particularly aerodynamic, they achieve these rather impressive ranges by use of jet-propulsion; water continues to be expelled from the funnel while the organism is in flight.

Does the central nervous system consist of the somatic nervous system?
No. Nervous System is comprised of the Central Nervous System (CNS) and the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) The PNS is comprised of the Somatic Nervous System and the Autonomic Nervous System The Autonomic Nervous System is comprised of the Sympathetic Nervous System, the Parasympathetic Nervous System and the Enteric Nervous System
The portion of the nervous system away from the central nervous system?
peripheral nervous system
What are the two types of nervous system?
They are the central nervous system and the periperhal nervous system.but in the periperhal nervous system ,they are two nervous system divided，。

Wha type of circulatory system does a cephalopod have?
never mind i found the answer :D
The portion of the nervous system away from the central nervous system?
peripheral nervous system
What is cephalopod in culinary?
A cephalopod is a snail.
The cranial and spinal nerves form what nervous system?
the peripheral nervous system

The somatic nervous system is a component of what nervous system?
peripheral nervous system
Is autonmic nervous system apart of the peripheral or central nervous system?
The autonomic nervous system is a division of the central nervous system.
What are two main jobs of the nervous system?
The nervous system takes in sensory information from the peripheral nervous system. This information is then directed to the central nervous system which then responds with a motor reaction that travels back to the peripheral nervous system.
