The nerve cord in an earthworm performs the same task as the nervous system of any animal. The function of the nervous system is to bring sensory information to the brain, where it is processed. Then, the brain sends signals to the body via the nervous system and those signals cause the animal to move.
there is not a 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 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.
whayt does cords main
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.
ventral nerve cord
The earthworm's main nerve cord is located on its belly and runs along the length of its body, whereas humans have a central nervous system composed of the brain and spinal cord. The earthworm's nerve cord is simpler and coordinates basic reflex responses, while the human central nervous system is more complex and involved in higher brain functions.
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.
it drains blood from the nerve cord n' stuff :)
lol, are you doing sections 1 and 2 for mollusks and segmented worms?
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.
It't the Ganglia (brain)
