Sponges have no nervous systems, their middle jelly-like layers have large and varied populations of cells, and some types of cell in their outer layers may move into the middle layer and change their functions

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?

The peripheral nervous system is the portion of the nervous system away from the central nervous system. It consists of nerves that connect the central nervous system to the rest of the body, including sensory and motor neurons. The peripheral nervous system is responsible for transmitting information to and from the central nervous system.

Do starfish have cephalization?

"Cephalization" means that the animal has a defined "head" region in which there is a lot of nervous tissue (such as the brain in humans). Sponges are not cephalized because they do not have defined head region nor do they have a central location for their nervous system. The nervous system in sponges is very loose because their cells generally work more individually as opposed to being commanded by a nervous system.

What are are not part of sponges?

Sponges, belonging to the phylum Porifera, do not have true tissues or organs, which differentiates them from more complex animals. They lack a nervous system, digestive system, and circulatory system, relying instead on the flow of water through their porous bodies for nutrient intake and waste removal. Additionally, sponges do not possess specialized structures like fins, limbs, or a centralized body plan, which are found in many other animal groups.
