Arthropods have an open circulatory system, with organs in the internal body cavity (hemocoel) and cells bathed in hemolymph. The fluid drains into open pores for recirculation usually by a dorsal tube acting in the role of a heart.

Not all arthropods use hemolymph for oxygenation; insects for example oxygenate tissues directly via tubules connected through vents (spiracles) to the atmosphere.

Do mollusks have a closed circulatory system?

No, mollusks typically have an open circulatory system, where the blood flows around the body cavity and directly bathes the organs. This is in contrast to closed circulatory systems found in some other animals where the blood flows through vessels.


Do rabbits have an open or closed circulatory system?

Rabbits have a closed circulatory system, meaning that their blood flows through a series of vessels and the heart pumps it continuously around the body. This system allows for efficient transport of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products throughout the rabbit's body.


Open circulatory system to lymphatics to closed circulatory system is to blood circulatory system?

The transition from an open circulatory system to a lymphatic system involves the movement of fluid and immune cells through vessels and lymph nodes. This ultimately connects to the closed circulatory system, responsible for transporting oxygen, nutrients, and waste products through the body. The closed circulatory system, also known as the blood circulatory system, uses the heart to pump blood through arteries, capillaries, and veins to maintain circulation.


Why does an earthworm have an open or closed circulatory system?

Earthworms have a closed circulatory system. Blood is pumped throughout its body by ringed blood vessels. An open circulatory system is not contained in vessels. In a closed circulatory system oxygen is carried in blood! hope this helps=)


What type of circulatory system do spiders have?

Spiders have an open circulatory system. This means that their blood, called hemolymph, flows freely within their body cavity instead of being contained within blood vessels like in animals with closed circulatory systems. Hemolymph plays a role in nutrient transport, waste removal, and exerting pressure to help with movement in spiders.
