Document Summary

There are two general classification of circulatory systems, open and closed. Which are defined whether or not blood vessels coming from the heart are going back to the heart to form a continuous circuit. Or whether the hemolenght that in pumped in the case of an open circulatory system it dumped into extracellular fluid or into sinuses. The crocodilian heart is the closest to a mammalian heart of any other lower animal. In the broad sense the circulatory system could be described as open or closed. In a closed system there is a complete loop of vessels or tubes going from the heart to the lungs and back to the heart. There is no break in the circuit; the fluid is blood and it is always flowing through a vessel (eg. artery, vein, venual, capillary. ) All of the circulatory fluid is contained within the system. Sometimes fluid leeks across the capillaries, it ultimately will leak back in.
