What is Nerve cord?
The '''nerve cord''' is a bundle of [[nerve fibre]]s which run the length of an animal's body. In [[invertebrates]] it runs along the [[ventral]] side under the [[gut]]. In [[chordate]]s it runs along the [[dorsal]] side above the gut. In [[vertebrates]] it runs inside the [[backbone]], and is called the [[spinal cord]]. {{biology-stub}} [[Category:Anatomy of the nervous system]]
