blood is returned to the heart. This type of circulation is

known as single circulation.

69. Which of the following organisms show incomplete double


circulation?

b) Reptiles
c) Mammals
d) Crocodiles

Answer: b

Explanation: In amphibians and reptiles, the left atrium receives

oxygenated blood from the gills/lungs/skin and the right atrium

gets deoxygenated blood from other body parts. However, they get
mixed up in the single ventricle which pumps out mixed blood and

is therefore known as incomplete double circulation.

c) Crocodiles
d) Reptiles

Answer: d

Explanation: In crocodiles, birds and mammals,

oxygenated and deoxygenated blood is received by the

out without any mixing up, i.e., two separate circulatory

pathways, hence these animals
