Summary Introduction

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.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Which of the following is false about open circulatory systems?   Question 5 options:   a)  Movement of blood in an open circulatory system is relatively fast.   b)  Blood is in direct contact with all organs.   c)  Snails have an open circulatory system.   d)  There may be some blood vessels in organisms with open circulatory systems, but these tubes will not be closed on either end.
What is the main purpose of the circulatory system? move blood throughout the body move lymphatic fluid from the tissue to the heart digest food move blood and lymph throughout the body
An organism’s circulatory system functions in transport, delivering nutrients to cell and removing waste. 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. Is the more efficient type of circulatory system.
