Which of the following have an open circulatory system? (i) Arthropoda                   (ii) Mollusca (iii) Annelida                       (iv) Cnidaria Correct Answer <p> (i) and (ii) </p>

Key Points 

The correct option is (i) and (ii) 

  • The blood vascular or circulatory system can be of two types 1. Open circulatory system 2. Closed circulatory system
  1. Open circulatory system: Open circulatory system is present in arthropods and molluscs in which blood pumped by the heart passes through large vessels into open spaces or body cavities called sinuses. Here the blood is not enclosed by any blood vessel or capillary.
  2. Closed circulatory system: Annelids and chordates have a closed circulatory system in which the blood pumped by the heart is always circulated through a closed network of blood vessels. This pattern is considered to be more advantageous as the flow of fluid can be more precisely regulated.
