The four primary nerve plexus nerve plexi are the cervical plexus , brachial plexus , lumbar plexus , and the sacral plexus . The choroid plexus is a part of central nervous system in the brain and it consist of capillaries, ventricles and ependymal cells . In invertebrates The plexus is the characteristic form of nervous system in the coelenterate s and persists with modifications in the flatworm s. The nerves of the symmetry biology Radial symmetry radially symmetric echinoderm s also take this form, where a plexus underlies the germ layer ectoderm of these animals and deeper in the body other nerve cells form plexi of limited extent.
