A cnidarian’s nervous system, made of a network of nerve cells spread through its body

Real World Example

Imagine trying to find your way through a crowded party, where you have to rely on brief interactions and signals from people around you to navigate. This is similar to how a cnidarian's nerve net operates, as it consists of a diffuse network of nerve cells that communicate with each other to coordinate the organism's movements and reactions. Just as you depend on cues from others to maneuver through the crowd, a cnidarian relies on this interconnected web of nerve cells spread throughout its body to process information and respond to its environment without a centralized brain.
