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.

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.

- 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_forwardWhat 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_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is the correct sequence of blood flow through pulmonary circulation? Group of answer choices Right atrium → right ventricle → pulmonary arteries → pulmonary capillaries (in lungs) → pulmonary veins → left atrium Left atrium → left ventricle → pulmonary arteries → pulmonary capillaries (in lungs) → pulmonary veins → right atrium Right atrium → right ventricle → pulmonary capillaries (in lungs) → pulmonary arteries → pulmonary veins → left atrium Left atrium → left ventricle → pulmonary capillaries (in lungs) → pulmonary arteries → pulmonary veins → right atrium Left atrium → left ventricle → pulmonary veins → pulmonary arteries → pulmonary capillaries (in lungs) → right atriumarrow_forwardThe interventricular septum and the intra-atrial septum separate the: a) chambers of the heart b) chambers of the lungs c) aorta and pulmonary artery f) bicuspid and tricuspid valves answer: A explain for each choices why they are correct or incorrect answerarrow_forward
