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.

Many objects designed by engineers have “circulatory systems” of one type or another. 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?
Two distinctly different styles of circulatory systems have evolved among animals: open and closed. What is “open” about an open cir-culatory system? Closed systems sometimes are cited as adaptive for actively moving animals with (at least at times) high metabolic de-mand. Can you suggest possible reasons for this assertion?
Many invertebrates utilize the body cavity as a circulatory system. However, in humans, the body cavity plays no role whatsoever in circulation. Why?
