An open circulatory system simply
means that the blood flows out of vessels and into the spaces or sinuses. Invertebrates,
insects and crustaceans has an open circulatory system where pump blood goes
into a hemocoel and diffusing back to the circulatory system between cells. In
other animals, the heart pumps the blood into the body cavities, spaces or
sinuses, where the blood surrounds the tissues.
When something needs to be transported against its concentration gradient, or a molecule is too big to simply diffuse through a membrane, active transport has to be used. So active transport requires energy (ATP).
Examples:
1. Antiport pumps: transport one substance in one direction while transporting another substance the other way. An example of this is the sodium-potassium pump.
2. Symport pumps - uses a substance that wants to move from an area of high concentration to low concentration and carries another substance against its concentration gradient. An example of this is the sodium-glucose transport protein
3. Endocytosis - large amounts of extra cellular fluid can be taken into a cell - needs ATP to bind proteins in the cell membrane and causes them to change their shape...which eventually causes the surrounding of the fluid to be brought in (a vesicle).
4.exocytosis - opposite of above
<span>Losing proprioception is when the specialized sensory receptors on
nerve endings found in muscles, joints, tendons and inner ear is not working
properly. Their ability to receive and send information on the positioning of
the body and movement can execute protective reflexes to prevent an injury. Thus,
walking on a leg that has ‘fallen asleep” is similar to losing proprioception
which joint stability is not present.</span>
