The gastrovascular cavity functions in digestion and respiration. Many animals who have a gastrovascular cavity do not need a circulatory system.
The oral cavity, or mouth, opens into the oropharynx, the portion of the throat behind the mouth.
A highly branched gastrovascular tract would allow for a higher surface area for food absorption to occur.
The manubrium is a stalk-like structure hanging down from the center of the underside, with the mouth at its tip. This opens into the gastrovascular cavity, where digestion takes place and nutrients are absorbed.
The Thoracic Cavity
The thoracic cavity is superior to the abdominopelvic cavity.
In the GastroVascular Cavity
yes
No, a gastrovascular cavity only has one opening. Only an alimentary canal features a mouth and anus.
A gastrovascular cavity is a digestive sac with only a single opening. A complete digestive tract (otherwise known as an Alimentary canal) has two openings (a mouth and anus) between its digestive tubes unlike the gastrovascular cavity in which food is ingested and eliminated through the same opening (example would be hydra)

Food from the food pipe is sent into the gastrovascular cavity. The surrounding tissues secrete enzymes that bring about digestion. Nutrients are absorbed and sent to the other organs for utilization.
