Insects have a different nervous system than vertebrates like us. ππ Not everything is controlled by the brain. ππ³ The nerve cords are similar to a rope ladder. βπ In each body segment are two interconnected ganglia. βπ In the head several ganglia are fused together and form the brain. ππ€ The brain isn't really needed for survival, because the vital functions π take place in other body segments. πͺπ However, the fly can take without head no liquid or food. ππ
