Invertebrate circulatory systems. Coelomates
Despite their greater potential complexity, many of
the minor coelomate phyla (e.g., Pogonophora, Sipuncula,
and Bryozoa) contain small animals that rely on direct
diffusion and normal muscular activity to circulate
the coelomic fluid. All of the major and some of the
minor phyla have well-developed blood vascular systems,
often of open design.
