I: | The interstitial fluid or tissue fluid has the same mineral distribution as that in plasma. |
II: | Exchange of nutrients, gases, etc., between the blood and the cells always occur through this fluid. |
III: | The lymphatic system collects this fluid and drains it back to the major veins. |
Assertion (A): | Open circulatory system is considered to be more advantageous than the closed circulatory system. |
Reason (R): | The flow of fluid can be more precisely regulated in open circulatory system than in closed circulatory system. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True, but (R) is False. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False |
I: | The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs. |
II: | The pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium. |
III: | The systemic circulation provides nutrients, O2, and other essential substances to tissues and removes CO2 and other harmful substances. |
IV: | The hepatic portal vein carries blood from the liver to the intestine before it is delivered to the systemic circulation. |
V: | The coronary system is responsible for the circulation of blood to and from the cardiac musculature. |
I: | Plasma is a straw coloured, viscous fluid constituting nearly 45 per cent of the blood. |
II: | Erythrocytes, leucocytes and platelets are collectively called formed elements and they constitute nearly 45 per cent of the blood. |
III: | A healthy adult man has, on an average, 5 millions to 5.5 millions of RBCs mm–3 of blood. |
IV: | Blood normally contains 150000-350000 platelets mm–3 |
1. | Coronary | 2. | Systemic |
3. | Double | 4. | Portal |
Assertion (A): | Blood pressure in the arteries is pulsatile. |
Reason (R): | This is due to the rhythmic pumping action of the heart. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
I: | The tricuspid valve is present between the left atrium and left ventricle. |
II: | Purkinje fibers help in conducting the cardiac impulse to the myocardium of ventricles. |
III: | The sinoatrial node acts as the pacemaker of the heart. |
IV: | Atrial contraction increases the ventricular filling. |
