Why doesn't it make sense for grasshoppers to have high blood pressure?
Grasshoppers have an open circulatory system. This means that blood (which, in insects, is called haemolymph) is pumped by the heart straight into sinuses that surround the grasshoppers muscles, tissue, and organs. Unlike us humans who have closed circulatory systems, blood isn't delivered throughout the body in blood vessels like veins and arteries (except for the aorta). When blood is delivered through vessels throughout the body, there is a force exerted on the vessel walls. This force is called blood pressure.Grasshoppers don't have blood vessels throughout their bodies; all they have are the heart and aorta. Blood goes straight from the sinuses in the grasshopper's into the heart, and is pumped straight out of the aorta into the sinuses. The only pressure exerted is on the short aorta leading out of the heart-- and that's it. Because of this, they cannot have high blood pressures.I'm not 110% sure if that's all correct, but I hope it helps. I'm doing a biology assignment on the circulatory system of grasshoppers for high school right now, and I was looking for some answers myself... sucks when no one answers though, haha.
Where does an open circulatory system pump blood or hemolymph into?
In an open circulatory system, blood or hemolymph is pumped into a body cavity called the hemocoel.
What is a type of circulatory system in which blood is pumped through spaces called sinuses?
An open circulatory system is one in which blood is pumped through sinuses or cavities, rather than through closed vessels. This type of system is found in certain invertebrates, like insects and mollusks. Blood bathes the tissues directly in an open circulatory system.
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.
Open circulatory system to lymphatics to closed circulatory system is to blood circulatory system?
The transition from an open circulatory system to a lymphatic system involves the movement of fluid and immune cells through vessels and lymph nodes. This ultimately connects to the closed circulatory system, responsible for transporting oxygen, nutrients, and waste products through the body. The closed circulatory system, also known as the blood circulatory system, uses the heart to pump blood through arteries, capillaries, and veins to maintain circulation.
What are examples of animals with an open circulatory system?
grasshoppers, have an open circulatory system
What kind of circulatory system does a grasshopper have?

What is a major difference between the circulatory of a grasshopper and that of an earthworm?
Grasshoppers have an open circulatory system, and worms have a closed circulatory system. There you go. :)
Compare grasshoppers circulatory to that of a crayfish circulatory?
This idiot is wrong. Maybe if you paid attention in Ms. Roberts class you would know that grasshoppers have a closed ciculatory system and crayfish have an open with very dark blackish blood. They do not have purple or green blood.
