None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Your heart is the only circulatory system organ. Blood goes from the heart to the lungs to get oxygen. The lungs are part of the respiratory system. Your heart then pumps oxygenated blood through arteries to the rest of the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -In an open circulatory system, blood leaves the blood and flows freely within the tissues. There is neither a true heart nor capillaries as are found in humans. Instead, there are blood vessels that act as pumps to force the blood along.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are three types of blood vessels: Arteries carry blood away from your heart. Veins carry blood back toward your heart. Capillaries, the smallest blood vessels, connect arteries and veins.

Detailed explanation-4: -Blood can flow through vessels inside the body, such as arteries and veins. This type of circulation is called closed circulation. Open circulation happens when there are no vessels to contain the blood, and it flows freely through the cavities of the body.
