1 answer
No, the nervous system of a Planaria is not located only in the head. Planaria are flatworms that have a decentralized nervous system, meaning they have a network of nerve cells or ganglia located throughout their bodies. They have two main nerve cords that run lengthwise along the body, with several transverse nerves connecting them. While there is a concentration of nerve cells in the head region, the nervous system is distributed throughout the entire body, allowing for coordinated movement and response to stimuli.
