In cockroaches, the ventral nerve cord is part of the central nervous system, running along the underside of the body. It consists of a chain of segmented ganglia, which are clusters of nerve cells that control various bodily functions and movement. This structure is crucial for coordinating locomotion and processing sensory information. The ventral nerve cord connects to peripheral nerves that extend to different body segments.

Do squids have a dorsal nerve cord or a ventral nerve cord?

Squids possess a ventral nerve cord, which is part of their central nervous system. Unlike vertebrates that have a dorsal nerve cord, squids and other mollusks have a more decentralized nervous system, with large ganglia and nerve cords that are ventrally located. This configuration supports their complex behaviors and rapid responses in their aquatic environment.
