The Circulatory System
The perch’s circulatory system keeps blood, nutrients, and water flowing throughout the body. It is a closed system that consists of a heart that is made up of the atrium and ventricle. The atrium receives unoxygenated blood and pumps it into the ventricle. The ventricle is located right under the atrium, and transfers the blood it receives from the atrium into the bulbus arteriossus. The bulbus arteriosus is an organ located near the ventricle that helps maintain a steady blood flow into the gill system through heart contraction.
