The blood flow in earthworm is a closed circulatory system. It has three main vessels that supply the blood to organs: arotic arches, dorsal and ventral blood vessels.

Dorsal vessel is the main collecting vessel. It sends blood to anterior region where it sends blood to lateral oesophageals and to the heart. Ventral vessel is the main distributing vessel. It sends blood to integument, ventrointestinal, and reproductive organs.

The earthworm has a closed circulatory system, and there are 3 main vessels: aortic arches, dorsal blood vessels, and ventral blood vessels.

aortic arches: It functions as the heart of the earthworm
dorsal blood vessels: Responsible to carry blood to the front of the body
ventral blood vessels: Responsible to carry blood to the back of the body

hope this helps
