What is the difference between an open circulatory system and a closed circulatory system?
To explain: The difference between an open circulatory system and a closed circulatory system.
Introduction:
The circulatory system is the organ system that transfers blood to and from all body parts. The heart is the main organ of circulatory system other than blood vessels. It is classified into two types, namely open and closed circulatory systems.
Explanation of Solution
Differences between open and closed circulatory system:
The closed type of circulatory system is advanced and shows quick distribution. The differences between open and closed type of circulatory systems are as follows:
- Open circulatory system is found in many invertebrates and some animals such as insects, spiders etc. Closed circulatory system is found in all vertebrates.
- In open system, the heart pumps blood through open cavities, whereas in closed system, the heart pumps blood through blood vessels such as arteries and veins.
- In open system, the blood flows at low pressure and requires less energy. In closed system, the blood flows at high pressure and is more efficient.

- Why is a closed circulatory system more efficient than an open circulatory system?arrow_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_forwardWhat is the primary function of Circulatory system?arrow_forward
- Why are the two separate circulatory systems said to be “serially connected”?arrow_forwardWhich 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.arrow_forwardHow circulatory system helps in maintaining homeostasis?arrow_forward
- What does the circulatory system form up of?arrow_forwardnote 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.arrow_forwarda) 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_forward
- What is the correct path through the circulatory system which describes the passage of blood originating in the left leg? Vena cava → left atrium → right atrium → lungs → left ventricle → right ventricle → aorta Vena cava → left atrium → left ventricle → lungs → right atrium → right ventricle → aorta Vena cava → right atrium → left atrium → lungs → right ventricle → left ventricle → aorta Vena cava → right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → aortaarrow_forwardWhat are the two main circulatory routes?arrow_forwardAn 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.
