What is the difference between open and closed circulatory systems?
What is the difference between open and closed circulatory systems?
In an open circulatory system, blood is pumped from the heart into the body cavity allowing blood to bathe the tissue and then return to the heart. In a closed circulatory system, there is a continuous system of vessels and blood is not pumped into body cavities.

Study Notes
Circulatory Systems
- Open circulatory systems are found in mollusks, arthropods, and annelids, where blood bathes tissues directly.
- Closed circulatory systems are characteristic of vertebrates, featuring a system of continuous vessels.
Differences Between Circulatory Systems
- Open circulatory systems pump blood from the heart into body cavities, allowing direct contact with tissues.
- In contrast, closed circulatory systems do not allow blood to flow into cavities, maintaining a controlled environment within vessels.
Advantages of Closed Circulatory Systems
- Enable a quicker flow of blood, leading to faster nutrient transport throughout the body.
- Blood flow can be regulated by adjusting blood vessel diameter, enhancing efficiency and response to body needs.
Flow Rate Dynamics
- Flow rate is influenced by the equation: flow rate = change in pressure / resistance.
- In closed systems, high change in pressure correlates with high resistance, affecting blood flow.
Viscosity of Blood
- Viscosity refers to the thickness or stickiness of blood, impacting how easily it flows.
- Higher viscosity requires more effort from the heart to maintain a desirable flow rate.
Effects of Viscosity on Animals
- Antarctic fishes exhibit high blood viscosity, requiring adaptations like large hearts, a dense network of vessels, and increased blood volume to sustain circulation in cold environments.
