Jellyfish have an outer layer called the epidermis; a middle layer made of a jelly-like substance called mesoglea; and an inner layer, called the gastrodermis. 

A very basic nervous system allows jellyfish to smell, detect light, and respond to other stimuli. 

Jellyfish have a digestive cavity that acts as both its stomach and intestine.
