What are the components of the circulatory sytem?

The circulatory system is composed of vessels and muscles that control the flow of blood around the body. This process of blood flowing around the body is called circulation. The main components of the circulatory system are the heart, arteries, capillaries and the veins.


What does it mean to have an open-circulatory system?

An open circulatory system is a type of circulatory system found in some invertebrates, where blood is pumped into an open body cavity called a hemocoel. The organs are bathed in this blood, and nutrients and waste are exchanged directly with the cells. Unlike closed circulatory systems, which have blood contained within vessels, open circulatory systems have a more limited ability to control the flow and direction of blood.


What is open circulatory system?

An Open circulatory system is one in which the flow of blood/hemolymph is from the heart to the peripheral organs then to the body cavity. There is no system of veins to carry the blood back to the heart. This is the arrangement in mollusca.http://www.answers.com/circulatory+systemjust go to wikipedia and type: Open Circulatory system
