Open Circulatory System • Blood is not always inside blood vessels • Heart pumps blood into a short vessel that opens into the body spaces containing the internal organs • Blood sloshes over organs and returns eventually to the heart
Mollusks that live in water have gills • Gills = organs that remove oxygen from the water • Gills have cilia that move back and forth, making water flow over the gills
