Question

Write five sentences about the parts of an jellyfish nervous system as a 6th grader

Answer 1

A jellyfish does not have a brain; instead it has a nerve net, which is a loose web of nerve cells spread through its body. The nerve net helps the jellyfish sense touch and sends signals to move its muscles so it can swim and catch food. Many jellyfish have special groups of cells called rhopalia that work like tiny sensory organs for balance and light detection. Rhopalia often contain statocysts, which tell the jellyfish which way is up, and simple eyes that can tell light from dark. Nerve cells in the tentacles control stinging cells to capture prey and help the jellyfish react quickly to danger.
