Question

In open circulatory systems, distribution of blood to different organs is:
Options
A Precisely regulated via arterioles
B Less readily regulated than in closed systems
Correct Answer
C Controlled by the autonomic nervous system
D Faster than in closed systems
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

In open circulatory systems, distribution of blood to different organs is less readily regulated than in closed systems. The absence of a complete vessel network means precise control of blood flow to specific tissues is limited.

Hint

Think about the level of control possible when blood flows freely in body cavities.
