Do It NOW!!! 1.What is cephalization in animals? 2. Why do you think cephalization exists in most animal species? 3.What kind of symmetry must exist in animals that are cephalized? 4.What do you think the two major functions of the nervous system are? 5.Extra credit – there is a third function, do you know what it is?
