No, pigs have a closed circulatory system.

What is the main function of the circulatury system?
The role of the circulatory system is to transport oxygen and other necessary nutrients all throughout the body. The main part of the circulatory system is the heart. The heart is the organ responsible for pumping blood throughout the body. This system has three types of blood vessels: The largest are arteries which go away from the heart. Next are veins which lead to the heart and are the second largest vessel. The smallest are capillaries which transport blood through tight spaces. Sometimes, red blood cells need to pass one by one though capillaries!Wow!The role of the circulatory system is to circulate the blood to the whole body .... basically responsible for the blood flow in the body, oxygen and gases from and to the cells also nutrients and hormones are involved
