Crayfish, along with all other arthropods, have an open circulatory system. There are no veins and no separation of blood from interstitial fluid.

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.
The excretory system of crayfish, which involves specialized structures called green glands for waste removal, is unlike the human excretory system, which primarily relies on the kidneys. The respiratory system of crayfish, which involves gills for gas exchange, differs from the human respiratory system that uses lungs.
A crayfish has an open circulatory system while humans have a closed circulatory system. "Closed" means that we have true blood vessels that carry blood to and from the heart. "Open" means that the organs are simply bathed in blood that freely circulates around the body. Sometimes the heart can move the "blood" by creating pressure waves in the fluid.
Exoskeleton: Crayfish have a hard shell, and no bones. That makes crayfish invertebrates (no spine). Gills: Crayfish respire underwater through gills, where humans use lungs. The circulatory system is the second one, the reason for this being that crayfish have no blood vessels (and humans obviously do).
Yes, most arthropods have an open circulatory system, which means that their blood, called hemolymph, directly bathes their tissues. This system is less efficient at transporting oxygen compared to closed circulatory systems found in vertebrates.
Coral typically does not have a circulatory system. They rely on diffusion to transport nutrients and gases throughout their tissue. Water movement plays a crucial role in supplying coral with food and oxygen while removing waste products.
The pericardial sinus in crayfish serves as a space that surrounds the heart, collecting hemolymph (the equivalent of blood in crustaceans) that is pumped out by the heart. It plays a critical role in the circulatory system by allowing the hemolymph to return to the heart for re-circulation. This sinus helps maintain proper blood flow and pressure within the open circulatory system of the crayfish. Additionally, it aids in the exchange of nutrients and waste products within the organism.
closed circulatory system (double circulatory system)
They're both the circulatory system.
