Answer to Question 1

A
Electrolytes are moved by hydrostatic pressure, which is a form of active transport.

Answer to Question 2

TENS
transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator
TENS stimulates cutaneous nerve fibers with electrical impulses, which follow the same spinal pathway as do pain impulses. The cutaneous nerves close the gate to the pain impulses.
