The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that if all external nerve supplies to a human heart are cut, there will be no effect on the heartbeat. - This is true because the heart has an intrinsic ability to beat independently of external nerve signals. **Hint**: Consider how the heart functions without external input. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason given is that the human heart is a myogenic heart. - A myogenic heart means that the heart's contractions are initiated by the heart muscle cells (myocytes) themselves, rather than by nerve impulses. **Hint**: Recall the definition of myogenic and how it relates to heart function. 3. **Connecting Assertion and Reason**: - Since the human heart is myogenic, it can generate its own rhythmic contractions. Therefore, cutting external nerve supplies will not affect the heartbeat. - This means the reason correctly explains why the assertion is true. **Hint**: Think about how myogenic hearts function compared to neurogenic hearts. 4. **Evaluating the Options**: - The first option states that both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. This is the correct choice. - The other options suggest that either one or both statements are false, which is incorrect based on our analysis. **Hint**: Review the definitions and characteristics of myogenic vs. neurogenic hearts to reinforce your understanding. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is the first option: Both assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
