Clams have an open circulatory system. In this system, hemolymph (a fluid equivalent to blood) is not confined entirely to vessels; it flows freely through cavities and bathes the organs directly. This allows for the exchange of nutrients and gases, but it is less efficient than a closed circulatory system found in organisms like mammals.
