The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the blood vascular system of Periplaneta americana (the cockroach), we will fill in the blanks step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Type of Blood Vascular System:** - The blood vascular system in Periplaneta americana is of an **open type**. In an open circulatory system, blood (hemolymph) is not confined entirely to blood vessels but flows freely through cavities called hemocoels, bathing the organs directly. **Answer for A:** Open 2. **Describe the Blood Vessels:** - In Periplaneta americana, the blood vessels are **poorly developed**. Although there are some blood vessels, they do not play a significant role in the circulation of blood as seen in closed circulatory systems. **Answer for B:** Poorly developed 3. **Locate the Visceral Organs:** - The visceral organs in Periplaneta americana are located in the **hemocoel**. The hemocoel is the body cavity that contains the hemolymph and allows it to circulate around the organs. **Answer for C:** Hemocoel 4. **Describe the Fluid Composition:** - The fluid in the hemocoel is composed of **plasma** and **hemocytes**. Plasma is the liquid component of blood, while hemocytes are the cells present in the hemolymph that play roles in defense and other functions. **Answer for D:** Plasma **Answer for E:** Hemocytes ### Final Answers: - A: Open - B: Poorly developed - C: Hemocoel - D: Plasma - E: Hemocytes
