You have five litres of blood in your circulatory system. It contains 3 litres of fluid and 2 litres of cells, including red blood cells. It is the dynamic system. From the proximal end of the capillaries fluid is leaked out to interstitial compartment. The same amount of fluid comes back through the distal end of the capillaries. This interstitial fluid comes in close contact with each and every body cell, that is living. You have 11 litres of interstitial fluid in your body. Little in talked about this fluid, which does the important job of supplying the oxygen and nutrients to the cells. On way back to the circulatory system ,this fluid takes back the carbon bi oxide and waste products of metabolism.

Circulatory system in which blood is not in vessels but spreads over organs?

This is known as an open circulatory system. In this system, hemolymph (a mix of blood and interstitial fluid) flows freely within the body cavity, bathing the organs directly. This type of system is found in invertebrates such as insects and some mollusks.

Is the bivalves circulatory system open or closed?

Bivalves have an open circulatory system, where blood flows freely within the body cavity instead of through a closed network of vessels. Oxygen and nutrients are distributed to the tissues as the blood bathes them directly.

When fluid bathes the cells it is called interstitial fluid when it flows through the lymphatic vessels it is called lymph?

Yes, interstitial fluid is the fluid that surrounds cells in the body's tissues, while lymph is the fluid that circulates through the lymphatic system. Lymph is derived from interstitial fluid that has entered the lymphatic vessels and is rich in immune cells and protein, playing a crucial role in immune response and fluid balance in the body.


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 octopus snails oysters and sponges all have a closed circulatory system?

No, octopuses have a closed circulatory system, while snails, oysters, and sponges do not. Snails and oysters possess an open circulatory system, where blood flows freely through cavities. Sponges, on the other hand, lack a circulatory system entirely, relying on the movement of water through their porous bodies for nutrient and waste transport.
