Summary Introduction
To review:
The differences between tracheids and vessel elements.
Introduction:
There are two types of vascular tissues present in most plants: xylem that is found involved in the transport of water along with the minerals from the roots to various parts of the plant and phloem, which is involved in the transport of food. Xylem is composed of tracheids as well as the vessel elements, while phloem has sieve tube elements and the companion cells in it.

The structure and efficiency of circulatory systems varies in different organisms.note whether the statements below are consistent with an open or closed circulatory system. The circulating fluid flows in one direction (unidirectionally) through a circulatory loop. The circulating fluid is called hemolymph. Ostia are pores in the heart, important for circulatory function. The circulating fluid is called blood. The circulating fluid remains in vessels as it moves throughout the organism.
