Biology Question on body fluids and circulation
Closed circulatory system is less efficient than open circulatory system. The blood flow is slow in closed circulatory system than in open circulatory system.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
If assertion is true but reason is false
If both assertion and reason are false
If both assertion and reason are false
Solution
The closed circulatory system is more efficient than the open circulatory system because in open circulatory system, the blood flows through open spaces and channels whereas in closed circulatory system, the blood flows through proper blood vessels. Also, in closed circulatory system arterial musculature and precapillary sphincters regulate the flow of blood, so the volume of blood flowing through a tissue or an organ may be regulated according to needs. Moreover in closed circulatory system, the blood flows far more rapidly in closed blood vessels than in wide open channels and body cavities. Thus, blood takes much shorter time to circulate through the closed system than in open circulatory system.
