Is circulation in earthworms open or closed?

Earthworms have a closed circulatory system. This means that their blood is contained within vessels as it circulates throughout the body, allowing for more efficient transport of nutrients and oxygen. The blood is pumped by a series of muscular structures called aortic arches, which act like hearts. This system enables earthworms to maintain a more regulated flow of blood compared to open circulatory systems.
