Assertion : The cardiac output of an ordinary man and of an athlete is the same
Reason : It is impossible to alter the stroke volume as well as heart rate.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

C

If assertion is true but reason is false

D

If both assertion and reason are false

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The stroke volume multiplied by the heart rate (no. of beats per min.) gives the cardiac output. Therefore, the cardiac output can be defined as the volume of blood pumped out by each ventricle per minute and average `5000` mL or `5` litres in a healthy individual. The body has the ability to alter the stroke volume as well as the heart rate and thereby the cardiac output. For example, the cardiac output of an athelete will be much higher than that of an ordinary man.

Assertion : The AV node is also called as the pacemaker of the heart. Reasoning : It is because of the fact that the AV node determines the rate of heartbeat.

Assertion: Best adapted and less adapted individuals reproduce at the same rate. Reason: Natural selection favour them equally.

mark the true and false statements a. SAN generates as action potential which stimulates atrial systole. b. ECG is an electrical representation of the graphical activity of the heart during a cardiac cycle. c. The cardiac output of a normal man will be much lesser than an athlete. d. The wall of right ventricle is much thicker than the left ventricle e. In pisces the two separate circulatory pathways are present, hence they have double circulation. f. The clsoed circulatory pattern is considered to be more advantageous than open circulatory pattern. g. Glucose is absorbed by simple diffusion through lymph in lacteales present in the intestinal villi. h. The SAN can generate the maximum number of action potential i.e. 140-150 mi n^(-1) in neonates, and is responsible for initiation and maintenance of the rhythmic contractile activity of the heart. i. Angina can occur in any age but more common among the neonates and infants. j. heart failure is sometimes called congestive heart failure because congestion of the blood vessels is one of the main symptoms of this disease.

Assertion (A) : The rate constant of a zero order reaction has same units as the rate of reaction. Reason (R ): Rate constant of a zero order reaction does not depend upon the units of concentration.

In a cardiac output of 5250 mL per minute, with 75 heartbeats per minute, the stroke volume is
