The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Circulatory System of Cockroach**: - The circulatory system of a cockroach is an open type of circulatory system. This means that the blood is not always contained within blood vessels but flows freely through cavities. 2. **Location of the Heart**: - The heart of the cockroach is located mid-dorsally, which means it is situated on the upper side of the body. 3. **Chambers of the Heart**: - The heart of a cockroach is segmented and consists of a total of 13 chambers. These chambers are differentiated into: - 3 thoracic chambers (located in the thorax) - 10 abdominal chambers (located in the abdomen) 4. **Evaluating the Options**: - **Option 1**: States that the heart is on the dorsal side and has 3 chambers in the abdominal region. This is incorrect because the heart has 13 chambers, not just 3. - **Option 2**: States that it is on the ventral side and has 10 abdominal and 3 thoracic chambers. This is incorrect because the heart is on the dorsal side, not the ventral side. - **Option 3**: States that it is on the dorsal side and has 10 abdominal and 3 thoracic chambers. This is incorrect because it misstates the number of abdominal chambers. - **Option 4**: Correctly states that the heart is on the dorsal side and consists of 10 abdominal and 3 thoracic chambers, totaling 13 chambers. 5. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is **Option 4**: The heart of the cockroach is present on the dorsal side and has a total of 13 chambers (10 abdominal and 3 thoracic).
