Document Summary

Veins that carry blood toward the heart, and capillaries that link arteries and veins and exchange materials through their walls. Animals with this system has one or more simple hearts, some blood vessels, and a series of interconnected chambers within the body, collectively called a hemeocoel. Tissues and internal organs are directly bathes in hemolympth, a fluid that functions both as blood and as the interstitial fluid that surrounds each cell within multicellular organisms. Animals with this system expend less energy on circulation, maintain low blood pressure, are less efficient at supplying oxygen, and nutrients to tissues than are closed systems. Closed circulatory system: confines the blood to the heart and to vessels that carry blood throughout the body. Blood pressure and flow rates are higher than is possible in an open system. This system is better able to direct blood to specific tissues as needed.
