The Hexapede possesses a closed circulatory system.
The Hexapede has a heart that consist of four (4) chambers. Hexapedes possess this kind of heart because they are vertebrate and mammals. These chambers are used to determine how proficiently the heart separates the movement or flow of oxygenated blood and deoxygenated blood throughout the body (Gauthier, 2016).
Hexapede’s blood vessels are made up of veins, capillary, artery and the heart.
In the heart, the cardiac muscle shares a similarity to the skeletal muscle in which they both has cross striations in their cell nucleus (Boundless, 2016). However, they differ where only the cardiac muscle cells originate rhythmic depolarization that interns activate action potential with
the absence of the nervous system input verses the skeletal muscle fiber needs motor neuron input (Urry, Cain, Wasserman, Minorosky, & Reece, 2016).
