The nervous system of a tapeworm is relatively simple and decentralized, lacking a true brain. It consists of a nerve net and a series of longitudinal nerve cords that run along the length of the body, with ganglia at various segments that coordinate movement and sensory responses. Tapeworms also possess sensory organs, such as the scolex, which helps them detect changes in their environment. Overall, their nervous system is adapted for their parasitic lifestyle, focusing on survival and reproduction within their host.
