Question
Chapter 48.1, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The reason why it is incorrect to think the open circulatory system as primitive compared to the closed system.
Introduction: The process of circulation or internal transport is carried out by the pumping organ of the body which is known as the heart. The circulatory system helps in the process of oxygen transportation to various organs. It transports the nutrients through the blood and also acts as a carrier in the removal of unwanted products from the body.

Describe at least three or four examples. Why do engineers sometimes include systems of flowing fluids in objects they design? We often hear it said that animal systems can teach us how to design engineered systems. If you were a biologist teaching a group of engineers about the lessons of animal circulatory systems, what principles would you emphasize?arrow_forwardMany invertebrates utilize the body cavity as a circulatory system. However, in humans, the body cavity plays no role whatsoever in circulation. Why?arrow_forward

A)A closed circulatory system is completely encased in the body cavity whereas the open one is not. B)The open circulatory system has a combination of blood vessels and large thin-walled sinuses whereas a closed circulatory system has only vessels. C)An open circulatory system opens into the heart whereas the closed circulatory system does not. D)An open circulatory system drains into the mantle cavity whereas a closed circulatory system drains into the hemolymph.
