Blood moves through the ventral blood vessel to the posterior of the body and through the dorsal vessel to the anterior of the body. The dorsal blood vessel contracts to push the blood back and then forward to the ventral vessel where a series of aortic arches act as hearts to move blood forward to the anterior end and through the capillaries.
