Not exactly. The structural systems in insects are much more simplified than those in humans or other mammals. Insects have an open circulatory system (ie, no chambered heart or interconnected web of blood vessels like we have).

Fluid called hemolymph (similar in purpose to blood, but not the same thing) is moved around within the exoskeleton by peristaltic movements of a perforated dorsal aorta (what passes for a heart in this type of circulation) and muscle movement.
