write a short note on opne type of circulatory system.In 10th class
Answers
Open circulatory systems are systems where blood, rather than being sealed tight in arteries and veins, suffuses the body and may be directly open to the environment at places such as the digestive tract.
Open circulatory systems use hemolymph instead of blood. This “hemolymph” performs the functions of blood, lymph, and intestinal fluid – which are three different, highly specialized fluids in animals with closed circulatory systems.
Instead of a complex and closed system of veins and arteries, organisms with open circulatory systems have a “hemocoel.” This is a central body cavity found inside most invertebrate animals where both digestive and circulatory functions are performed. This hemocoel may have “arteries” through which the blood can reach tissues – but these arteries are not closed and do not circulate blood as quickly as closed, muscle-assisted arteries.
