The correct Answer is:
To determine the main function of the blood vascular system in cockroaches, we will analyze each option provided in the question. 1. **Understanding the Blood Vascular System**: - The blood vascular system in cockroaches is primarily composed of a fluid called hemolymph, which serves multiple functions in the body. 2. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option (a) Distribution of oxygen**: - Cockroaches do not have a blood vascular system that primarily functions to distribute oxygen. Instead, they have a tracheal system that directly delivers oxygen to tissues. - **Option (b) Distribution of absorbed nutrients**: - The blood vascular system (hemolymph) plays a crucial role in transporting absorbed nutrients from the digestive system to various parts of the body. - **Option (c) Distribution of heat**: - While the blood vascular system may help in regulating temperature to some extent, it is not its primary function. - **Option (d) All of these**: - Since options (a) and (c) are not the main functions of the blood vascular system, this option cannot be correct. 3. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the main function of the blood vascular system in cockroaches is the distribution of absorbed nutrients, which corresponds to **Option (b)**. Therefore, the correct answer is **(b) Distribution of absorbed nutrients**.
