Birds have a heart and blood vessels similar to most complex organisms. They have relatively large hearts and relatively rapid heartbeats for their size because flight requires a lot of energy to be used. Their hearts also have four (4) parts to them

They have something similar to that of the gills in fish so that they are able to function in the aquatic environment. The closed circulatory systems, are usually in the terrestrial animals such as mammals, birds etc.
How is a birds respiratory system adapted to its high metabolic rate?
The respiratory system of birds is extremely efficient at taking in oxygen and eliminating carbon dioxide. This fact should not surprise you, as the high metabolic rate of birds demands an efficient gas exchange system.
Do birds have highly efficient circulatory systems?
If you meant in heartbeats yes. A bird's heartbeats in one minute include 150 times in 15 seconds.
What could stop the circulatory system from working?
Our circulatory system is dependent on the efficient pumping of blood round our bodies by our four chambered heart. If the heart stops, then the circulatory system will also stop - resulting in death! Blockages in part of our veins and arteries may also cause problems and require treatment.
What is the circulatory system in the monkeys body?
closed circulatory system (double circulatory system)
How is a birds circulatory system an advantage?
There will never be any mixing of oxygen-rich blood and oxygen-poor.
How are the circulatory system and the circulatory system related?
They're both the circulatory system.
