Solution

Closed circulatory system:

  1. The open circulatory system is found mainly in invertebrates. In this, the blood flows freely through cavities since there are no vessels to conduct the blood.
  2. A closed circulatory system is found in vertebrates. This system has vessels that conduct blood throughout the body.
  3. For humans, a closed circulatory system is more efficient at delivering blood and nutrients.
  4. This system creates pressure, enabling the blood to travel farther and deliver more oxygen.
  5. Animals with closed circulatory systems generally have a higher metabolism than animals with open circulatory systems.
