closed circulatory system
fluid is pumped through blood vessels that empties into the body cavity
open circulatory system
type of fluid seen in open circulatory systems
hemolymph
in most vertebrates, it delivers oxygen in the body
hemoglobin
delivers oxygen and floats freely in hemolymph
hemocyanin
delivers oxygen in the body but does not contain heme
hemerythrin
has the simplest circulatory system among vertebrates
fish
have 2 circulatory routes, one for oxygenation and for the other to take oxygen around the body
amphibians and reptiles
