Check out how jam-packed with important fluid systems the human body already is!" — pointing out the existence of the trendy urban secret "lymphatic system" doesn't seem to at all imply that there's room for a secondary circulatory system | |
| Dec 12, 2021 at 9:34 | comment | added | Demigan | I dont think this qualifies as an answer. While it is half a circulatory system it is essentially a part of our current circulatory system with much different properties than our blood circulatory system. Blood circulation goes both to and from the organs it supplies and lymphs only go back towards the more central lymph nodes and resupply the blood nearby the vena cava, so its half of a circulatory system. It has different fluid pressure and speeds (no heart, although lymph hearts exist in some species) so it would be hard pressed to do as well as a full blood circulatory system. | |
