In clams, the heart is connected to the respiratory organs, specifically the gills, through a network of blood vessels. The gills are responsible for gas exchange, where oxygen is absorbed from the water and carbon dioxide is expelled. The oxygenated blood from the gills is then transported to the heart, which pumps it throughout the body. This system allows for efficient circulation and respiration, essential for the clam's survival.
