Explanation / Answer

Hemocoel is the main body cavity through which circulatory fluid sloshes and circulates in case of animals having open circulatory system. Here oxygenated and deoxygented blood are mixed so mostly organism under this category are sessile in nature (except insects are highly active). Here oxygen is supplied directly to the organs means when hemolymph circulates through the hemocoel, oxygen is diffused when comes in contact with organs ; no capillary system is involved.
