English translation:cavity
Explanation:
Hohlsystem is a very general word, and so it can only either be translated as such, = "cavity", or differently depending on the organ they are speaking about (lumen for the gut, renal pelvis for the kidney, etc.).

Greetings,

\"vacuolar system\" is on cellular level, 10.000-100.000 times smaller than what we are speaking about here.
