Nerve net Nerve net A nerve net consists of interconnected neurons lacking a brain or any form of cephalization. While organisms with bilateral body symmetry are normally associated with a central nervous system, organisms with radial symmetry are associated with nerve nets. Nerve nets can be found in members of the Cnidaria, Ctenophora, and Echinodermata phyla, all of which are found in marine environments. Nerve nets can provide animals with the ability to sense objects through the use of the sensory neurons within the nerve net. The nerve net is the simplest form of a nervous system found in multicellular organisms. Unlike
Bacterial phyla used for phyla, but generally the name of the phylum is generally the plural of the type genus, with the exception of the "Firmicutes", "Cyanobacteria", and "Proteobacteria", whose names do not stem from a genus name ("Actinobacteria" instead is from "Actinomyces"). The "Acidobacteria" (diderm Gram negative) is most abundant bacterial phylum in many soils, but its members are mostly uncultured. Additionally, they are phenotypically diverse and include not only acidophiles, but also many non-acidophiles. Generally its members divide slowly, exhibit slow metabolic rates under low-nutrient conditions and can tolerate fluctuations in soil hydration. The "Actinobacteria" is a phylum of monoderm
