Types of circulatory systems in
multicellurlar organisms
Single Double
Incomplete Complete
c.s of insects - open circulatory system
an insect has a tube-shaped heart with fine openings along the sides called ostia
heart contracts to pump haemolymph into haemocoel
exchange of substances occurs between the haemolymph and body cells via diffusion
heart relaxes = haemolymph flows from the haemocoel -> heart via ostia
ostium has valve - prevent haemolymph from flowing out of the heart
c.s of fish - single circulatory system
blood flows into the heart once in one complete circulation
heart pumps bloof via blood vesssels -> gills -> body tissues -> heart
1 atrium and 1 ventricle
deoxygenated blood flows into the atrium of the heart and is pumped out of the
heart from the ventricle to the gills where exchange of gases occurs
from gills: oxygenated blood flows to all body tissues that needs for respiration
body tissues: deoxygenated blood flows back to heart to repeat the cycle
c.s of amphibians - incomplete double c.s
an amphibian has a heart with 2 atria (right and left atria) and 1 ventricle
(undivided)
double circulatory system : blood flows through the heart twice in 1 complete
circulation
incomplete system: oxygenated and deoxygenated blood are mixed in the
ventricle
c.s of humans - complete double c.s
2 atria (left and right atria) & 2 ventricles (right and left ventricles)
double circulatory : blood flows through the heart 2x in 1 complete
circulation
