Chapter 44.4, Problem 1C
Summary Introduction
To explain: The major adaptations that occurred during the evolution of the vertebrate circulatory system.
Introduction: In vertebrates, the circulatory systems have been modified with evolution, so that animals can adapt to a particular lifestyle. Some vertebrates have a single circuit for circulation and some have the double circuit for the blood flow.
