Best Answer

Mollusks, a member of the crustacean family, have an open circulatory system meaning blood flows freely within their body cavity. However they still have a three chambered heart. The heart pumps blood through open-ended vessels and the blood simply flows back into the heart on it's own or through incidental muscular contractions of the mollusks body during feeding or moving.
