Study Notes
Organ System Level of Organisation
- In animals like Annelids, Arthropods, Molluscs, Echinoderms, and Chordates, organs associate to form functional systems, each concerned with a specific physiological function.
- This pattern is called organ system level of organisation.
Features of Digestive System
- In Platyhelminthes, the digestive system has a single opening to the outside of the body, serving as both mouth and anus, and is hence called incomplete.
- A complete digestive system has two openings, mouth and anus.
Types of Circulatory System
- There are two types of circulatory systems:
- Open type: blood is pumped out of the heart and cells and tissues are directly bathed in it.
- Closed type: blood is circulated through a series of vessels of varying diameters (arteries, veins, and capillaries).
