Summary Introduction
To trace: The evolution of the vertebrate circulatory system from fish to mammal.
Introduction: In vertebrates, the circulatory systems have been modified with evolution, so that animals can adapt to their lifestyle. Some vertebrates have a single circuit for circulation and some have the double circuit for the blood flow.
