Types of the circulatory system

  • The two basic types of circulatory systems that have evolved in animals are open circulatory system (in many invertebrates) and closed circulatory system (in vertebrates).
  • These circulatory systems can be differentiated by the presence or absence of capillaries at tissue level

Open circulatory system

  • In this system, the blood comes in direct contact with tissue cells.
  • Blood may or may not flow in larger blood vessels
  • When vessels are completely absent, blood flows in blood sinuses or lacunae or open spaces e.g arthropods
  • In most molluscs, blood flows in larger blood vessels but at tissue level vessels are absent

Closed circulatory system

  • In this system, blood does not come in direct contact with tissue cells. 
  • In this circulation, fine blood vessels called capillaries are present at the tissue level to prevent direct connectivity of tissue and blood, e.g. in annelids, echinoderms, some molluscs and all vertebrates
  • The closed circulatory system increases the efficiency of circulation and regulates blood flow. 

Hence, the correct answer is option d.
