Coelenterata and Echinodermata are two phyla that have primitive nervous systems.
Coelenterata, also known as Cnidaria, includes animals such as jellyfish, sea anemones, and corals. They have a decentralized nervous system, consisting of a nerve net that runs throughout their body. This nerve net allows for basic sensory perception and coordination of movements.
Echinodermata includes animals such as starfish, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers. They have a decentralized nervous system as well, with a nerve ring around their mouth and radial nerves extending into each arm or ray. This nervous system allows for basic sensory perception and coordination of movements, but it is not as complex as the nervous systems found in higher animals.
Both Coelenterata and Echinodermata have simple nerve structures that allow them to respond to their environment and coordinate basic movements. However, they lack more advanced features found in higher animals, such as a centralized brain and complex sensory organs.
