!!! One Medal Question !!!
Invertebrates are animals without backbones mostly found in spineless creatures. Sponge is an example of invertebrates, they don’t have bones (no backbones either). You’ll see other invertebrates with some basic skeletal tissues. The nervous system of these type of animals that allows them to sense and touch is the brain primarily, the mouth, nerve net, and tentacles.
