A gastrovascular system, found in organisms like jellyfish and flatworms, typically has one opening that serves both as a mouth and an anus. This single opening allows for the intake of food and the expulsion of waste, facilitating a simple digestive process. The gastrovascular cavity aids in nutrient distribution throughout the organism's body.
