Do all animals have hearts, even the microscopic ones?

Best Answers

No. Many animals have no heart or even a separate circulatory system. In very small animals there's no need for an organ to transport nutrients through the body; diffusion is sufficient. Most of the major groups of animals (phyla) do not have hearts. Sponges have no hearts. They have no organs at all. read more
