The heart of the Angler Fish is a long muscular tube, with several large sac-like chambers connected. The heart passes blood into a thick muscular pump, the ventricle. From the ventricle the blood goes to the Bulbus arteriosus. The blood passes to the arteries of the gills and then to the gill capillaries. Here waste gases are expelled, and oxygen is absorbed. Oxygenated blood is pumped to internal organs and then returns to the heart.
