Question
Chapter 49.2, Problem 3R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The process and reason behind the shunting of blood from the pulmonary circuit when the ectothermic reptiles are not breathing.
Introduction:
Animals such as fishes, amphibians, and reptiles cannot maintain their internal body temperature on their own and thus, depends on the environmental factors such as sunlight. Such animals are referred to as ectotherms or cold-blooded organisms. In order to maintain their body temperature, these organisms show different behavior mechanisms for thermo-regulation.

Neither cnidarians nor turbellarians possess a circulatory system. For most large, active animals, this would pose a (fatal) problem. Describe and discuss the features of large active cnidarians ands turbellarians that allow them to respire, nourish their cells, and excrete despite the absence of a conventional circulatory system.
