| Open System of Circulation | Closed System of Circulation |
| 1. The blood pumped by the heart passes through the large vessels into the open spaces of the body cavity. | The blood pumped by the heart passes through a closed network of blood vessels called arteries veins and capillaries. |
| 2. Open system of circulation is seen in arthropods and molluscus. | Closed system of circulation is seen in Annelids and Chordates. |
| (c) | |
| Systole | Diastole |
| The contraction of ventricles is called systole | The relaxation of the atria is called diastole. |
| (d) | |
| P- wave | T- Wave |
| This represents the electrical excitation of the atria leading to the contraction of both the atria. | This wave represents the return of the ventricles from excited state to normal state. |
