Question
Chapter 41.5, Problem 3C
Summary Introduction
To determine: The location where neural integration occurs in the vertebrates.
Introduction: The body parts interact with each other and to the environment with the help of the nervous system. The nervous system is a complex system that controls the actions of a whole body.

How big is the squid's brain in comparison to its body? How does this compare to the earthworm's size ratio? Finally, what does this tell you about the quantity of central processing that each animal's brain performs? Explain everything in three paragraphs.
What is the role of the cerebra in mammals? How is cerebral size connected to organismal complexity?
Overall, mammalian brains are more complex than the brains of fish and amphibians. Does this increased complexity make mammals more advanced and fish and amphibians more primitive? Why or why not?
