Answer: Haemocoels

Step-by-step explanation:

In the open circulatory system found in arthropods and mollusks, the heart pumps blood into a blood vessel which branches and opens in an internal structure called Haemocoels.

The haemocoel is a highly functional part because it allows

- organs and tissues to be bathed in blood,

- for exchange of materials to occur between the body cells and the blood.

- blood to eventually flows back to the heart.
