Do jellyfish have brains?

What do jellyfish eat?

Jellyfish is a creature of our fascination because it is not easily visible and resides in deeper parts of the ocean and due to the fluorescent color which is emitted out of jellyfish, it is an attractive creature for us. This is just the tip of the iceberg when you’re speaking about the unusualness of jellyfish as compared to the other animals on land or even the marine creatures. Jellyfish is entirely different in the bodily structure as well as from a scientific point of view.

If you look into the bodily structure of jellyfish you would realize that, the nervous system of the jellyfish is entirely different and this brings us to the question do jellyfish have brains? If they have a nervous system, people might think that they have a brain as well but this is not true.

No, jellyfish do not have brains. You might be thinking that we have mentioned that jellyfish has a nervous system but how is that nervous system can control the jellyfish if it does not have a brain. This is where jellyfish is entirely different from the other creatures on land as well as in sea.

If you’re looking into the anatomy of the body of other animals you would find out that it is in symmetry. That is there is some similar organs on the left side of the body of the animals and on the right side of the body of the animals but there is no such similarity in jellyfish.

If you look into the body of jellyfish you would understand that bilaterally they are not similar at all. That is why, the way in which the body of the jellyfish operates is also different than other animals.Source
