Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hemolymph is not transported in a closed circulatory system. Hemolymph is found in open circulatory systems, such as those seen in arthropods like insects and crustaceans. In open circulatory systems, hemolymph is pumped by the heart into a hemocoel, or body cavity, where it directly bathes the tissues and organs. Heat, respiratory gases, hormones, and cells of the immune system are all transported in closed circulatory systems, such as those seen in vertebrates. In closed circulatory systems, blood is pumped by the heart through a system of vessels, and is separated from the interstitial fluid that bathes the cells of the body.
