The nerve cord travels from this first segment to the last.A fibrous sheath surrounds the nerve cord.hile humans and other vertebrates have a spinal column that runs down their back, or dorsal side, earthworms possess a nerve cord consisting of two strands that runs down their belly, or ventral side.
