Why do higher animals like mammals and birds possess a closed circulatory system instead of an open one?
1. Because it allows blood to come in direct contact with tissues for faster absorption of oxygen
2. Because closed circulation prevents blood from reaching vital organs
3. Because open circulation is too complex for warm-blooded animals
4. Because a closed system permits more efficient nutrient and gas exchange through capillaries under controlled pressure
