Open Circulatory System

A system in which blood moves through open spaces as well as vessels
Real World Example
Imagine trying to water a large garden with a hose that has several holes, causing water to spray out unpredictably in different areas. This situation is similar to an open circulatory system where blood flows through both vessels and open spaces within the body. Just as the water from the hose spreads out through both the direct stream and the leaks, blood in an open circulatory system moves through defined vessels and also fills open cavities to reach the tissues, ensuring that all areas receive necessary nutrients and oxygen.
