One advantage of the double closed circulatory system is that the blood is kept inside arteries or veins all the time. This stops the blood mixing with other bodily fluids and helps with the transport of the blood around the body.

Another advantage of the double closed compared to the open system is that in the double system the blood is always kept at a high pressure. This is an advantage as the high pressure of the blood means that the blood can travel faster around the body and deliever more oxygen to the body's cells.

not all open circulatory systems transport oxygen. Insects have no oxygen in their blood

What hydraulic and pneumatic systems are in a human body?

The human body hydraulic system is more than just your digestive and circulatory system. It also your respiratory and nervous system.


Why are annelids more complex than nematodes and platyhelminthes?

Because Annelids have much more "complicated" characteristics such as, The body possesses 3 separate sections of themselves, have a closed Circulatory system, and has a nervous system with an interior nerve ring, ganglia & ventral cord. As nematodes and Platyhelminthes have very simple characteristics:Nematodes: Bilaterally symmetrical, feeds on just about everything, lives just about anywhere, and has no circulatory system.Platyhelminthes: do not have an anus, have a sac-like body, contain a hydrostatic skeleton and sexually reproduce.


What are the nine human system?

* circulatory system * digestive system * endocrine system * integumentary system * immune system * muscular system * nervous system * reproductive system * respiratory system There are actually more than nine. The ones not mentioned are: * skeletal system * excretory(urinary) system


Is there a spleen in the circulatory system?

Ok, I have no idea what you mean by that question. Technically, since blood flows to the spleen to keep it alive...then yes. But blood flows to every living cell in your body to keep it alive so...yeah. But is the spleen a part of the circulatory system? That is also a yes. It is part of the lymphatic system, not the cardiovascular system. The lymphatic system is a sub-system of the circulatory system that basically helps fight infection, recycle blood plasma, etc. Most people do not think of the lymphatic system as part of the circulatory system though (even though it is) and most use the words "circulatory" and "cardiovascular" interchangeably (even though they're not interchangeable). Seeing as the cardiovascular organs are the heart and blood vessels, if that is what you meant...then no it's not. Please be more specific with your questions.


How does the circulatory system use ATP?

Circulatory system does not have separate way of using ATP. Here heart is using the most of the energy for muscle contraction. Aortic system uses energy transmitted by heart to it, to get dilated and passively release the same during diastole by contraction of smooth muscles. In circulatory system neither more nor less energy is liberated in thisconversion of ATP to ADP.Like all other body cells it coverts ATP into ADP to get energy for metabolism. At times ADP get converted to AMP.

not all open circulatory systems transport oxygen. Insects have no oxygen in their blood


What is the disadvantage of a single circulatory system?

The need for a powerful heart and greater energy expenditure are both disadvantages of a closed circulatory system. Even with its disadvantages, a closed circulatory system is much more efficient than an open one.


What is an open circulatory system?

A Closed Circulatory system-Is a blood circulation system in which blood moves through the body in closed vessels. In the closed circulatory system, the blood is confined to vessels. The heart pumps blood to vessels through smaller vessels which go to the organs. This system has a more efficient way of transporting blood then an open circulatory system. Some animals that have this systems include earthworms, squids, octopus, and all vertebrates, like humans.


Why does the earthworm have a closed circulatory system?

The earthworm like many more complex organisms has a closed circulatory system, meaning that its blood is confined to blood vessels and its blood is recirculated so it gets maximum use


Closed or open circulatory system in crab?

Frogs have a double circulatory system, which means that circulation goes from the heart to the lungs (where it becomes oxygenated), then returns to the heart, then is pumped to the rest of the body (which takes the oxygen), and then returns to the heart. They have a closed circulatory system, which means that the blood travels through the body in vessels. Frogs have a three-chambered heart.


A segmented worm's circulatory system?

The circulatory fluid (I don't think its blood) and respiratory pigments circulate in vessels and never leave the vessels, much like that of humans and other mammals. This is in contrast to the circulatory system of insects, where the fluid (haemolymph) goes from the heart, through a vessel and then flows out to surround or 'bathe' the organs


What is the disadvantage of a closed circulatory system?

Advantage of open circulatory system: * requires less engergy for distribution * it need less need of oxygen * blood pressure remain low Disadvantages for open circulatory system: * not very effective, because fluid is pumbed under low pressure, so it corculates more slowly than in closed circulatory system Advantage of closed circulatory system * Operates much higher blood pressure * blood pumped under high pressure so it reaches destination quickly * immune response are much Stronger, helping body fight infection Disadvantage: * stronger heart is required, more energy to maintain * is complex but more powerful


How does the respiatory system use the circulatory system?

How is a cephalopods way of moving different from that of most mollusks?

Cephalopods are the only mollusks with a closed circulatory system. They have two gill hearts (also known as branchial hearts) that move blood through the capillaries of the gills. A single systemic heart then pumps the oxygenated blood through the rest of the body. Like most molluscs, cephalopods use hemocyanin, rather than hemoglobin to transport oxygen


What would have happened if humans had not developed a circulatory system?

Humans didn't develop a circulatory system. Early forms of circulatory systems developed in the first animals and organisms to roam the earth. As these species evolved through speciation and genetic variation, new species came to exist that also had circulatory systems. Over time, the systems became more complex and efficient (compare the cardiopulmonary circulatory system of the human compared to the circulation of a fish). Therefore, without circulatory systems there would be no humans nor would there be life as we know it
