If due to some injury the chordae tendineae of the tricuspid valve of the human heart is partially non-functional, what will be the immediate effect ?

A

The flow of blood into the aorta wil be slowed down.

B

The 'pacemaker' will stop working

C

The blood will tend to flow back in to the left atrium

D

the flow of blood into the pulmonary artery will be reduced.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
(d) If chordae tendinae of the tricuspied valve became partially non-functional due to the injury then the flow of blood into the pulmonary artery will be reduced. Because chordae tendinae, arise from papillary muscle and insert upon the flaps of tricuspid and biscupsid valves and the valves in the heart allow the flow of blood only in one direction, i.e., from the atria to the ventricles and form the ventricles to the pulmonary artery or aorta.

A simple pendulum with a metallic bob has a time period T.The bob is now immersed in a non-viscous liquid and oscillated . If the density of the liuid is (1)/(4) that of metal , what will be the time period of the same pendulum? Hint : If the solid bob of the pendulum has relative densty D and has been submerged in a non-viscous liquid of relative density rho then effective acceleration due to gravity g' = g-(g)/(n) where n = (D)/( rho)
