To review:
The difference between an open and closed circulatory system and the reason behind the inability of humans to function with an open circulatory system.
Introduction:
Different organisms possess different kinds of circulatory systems, which have evolved into two different types of the circulatory systems, which are closed and open circulatory system. Open circulatory system is one where body tissues and organs are surrounded by a fluid called hemolymph. This type of circulatory system is mainly found in invertebrates except for earthworm. The closed circulatory system has blood vessels. These blood vessels run transversely through the body and transport oxygen and blood to different organs.

- What is the function of the circulatory system in the human body, and how does it work to maintain homeostasis?arrow_forwardVertebrates, such as humans, have a(n) pathway. pulmonary circulatory lungs The heart pumps blood to the tissues through the circuit. systemic terrestrial The heart pumps blood to the lungs through the circuit. gills one-circuit This type of circulatory pathway is seen in organisms that utilize to breathe air. two-circuitarrow_forwardHow does an open circulatory system differ from a closed one? A)A closed circulatory system is completely encased in the body cavity whereas the open one is not. B)The open circulatory system has a combination of blood vessels and large thin-walled sinuses whereas a closed circulatory system has only vessels. C)An open circulatory system opens into the heart whereas the closed circulatory system does not. D)An open circulatory system drains into the mantle cavity whereas a closed circulatory system drains into the hemolymph. E)An open circulatory system opens into arteries and is drained by veins whereas in a closed one it is just the reverse.arrow_forward
- Fish, like all invertebrates have a single circulatory systems circulatory a) explain why single circulatory system were not retained in terrestrial vertebrates b) what advantage a double circulatory system offer.arrow_forwardHow does the circulatory system contribute to homeostasis?arrow_forwardIn contrast to the circulatory system the lymphatic system is an open network that moves the blood with a pump (heart) an open network that moves the blood without a pump (heart) a closed network that moves the lymph without a pump (heart) an open network that moves the lymph without a pump (heart)arrow_forward
- a) List at least five things that a circulatory system does to help the body cells. Which of these is most important? b) Name some animals with an “open circ system” ; know how it works with some vessels, heart/pumps and hemolympth blood-like fluid c) what are the general differences between veins, capillaries and arteries? What do we call very tiny arteries? Very tiny veins?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is/are true of a circulatory system (=fluid-transport system): A. aids diffusion by reducing functional diffusion distances B. transports substances rapidly between distant cells/tissues. C. is an adaptation to large body size. D. All of the abovearrow_forwardTrace the evolution of the circulatory system through animals. From sponges up through arthropods ?arrow_forward
- 19. The diagram below is a schematic representation of the circulatory system. In other words, it is not meant to be a realistic drawing of body parts, but only to show the basic scheme of the system – the relationships among its parts and the sequence of events that occur in the system. The circulation of blood is vital to the process of respiration, since the blood carries fresh oxygen to the cells of the body and returns carbon dioxide to the lungs to be expelled. As you have learned, arteries are the blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. Which blood vessels in the diagram are arteries? The arrows indicate the blood vessels 2 and 3 carry blood away from the heart, so they are arteries. Blood vessels 1 and 4, which return blood to the heart, are veins. Study the diagram below and then answer the questions that follow. Heart Body cells Lungs Key: Oxygen-rich blood Carbon dioxide-rich blood A. Refer to the diagram. Blood that is rich in oxygen is found in which two of the…arrow_forwardList down the functions of the Circulatory System in animals.arrow_forwardSome animals use diffusion instead of a circulatory system. Examples include:: birds and jellyfish flatworms and arthropods mollusks and jellyfish none of the abovearrow_forward
