The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion and reason question, we will analyze both statements step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states: "Endocardium provides a smooth lining for the inside of the heart and covers the valves of the heart." - The endocardium is indeed the innermost layer of the heart. - It serves to provide a smooth surface that reduces friction as blood flows through the heart chambers and over the heart valves. - Therefore, this assertion is **true**. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states: "Endocardium is continuous with the endothelial lining of the large blood vessels associated with the heart and the rest of the cardiovascular system." - The endocardium is made up of cells that are similar to endothelial cells, which line the blood vessels. - It is correct that the endocardium is continuous with the endothelial lining, meaning that it connects seamlessly with the blood vessels. - Thus, this reason is also **true**. ### Step 3: Determine the Relationship Between Assertion and Reason Now we need to determine if the reason correctly explains the assertion. - The assertion talks about the function of the endocardium in providing a smooth lining and covering the heart valves. - The reason discusses the continuity of the endocardium with the endothelial lining of blood vessels. - While both statements are true, the reason does not directly explain why the endocardium provides a smooth lining or its role in covering the valves. ### Conclusion Both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason does not serve as the correct explanation for the assertion. Therefore, the correct answer is that both are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer The correct option is: **Both assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.** ---

Explain the location and functions of various valves present in the heart and blood vessels.

The human ciculatory system can be thought of as a closed system of interconnecting pipes through which fluid is continuously circulated by two pumps the two pumps the right and left verticles of the heart, work as simple two-stroke force pumps. The muscles of the heart regulate the force by contracting and relaxing. the contraction (systole) lasts about 0.2s and a complete systole/diastole (contraction/relaxation) cycle lasts about 0.8s. For flood pressures and speeds in the normal range. the volume flow rate of blood through a blood vessel is directly proportional tot he pressure difference over a length of the vessel and to the fourth power of the radius of the vessel. The total mechanical energy per unit volume of blood just as it leaves the heart is E//V=rhogh+P+rhov^(2) Q. Why is diastolic blood pressure muchh lower than systolic pressure? A. because the heart exerts more force on the blood during diastole B. Because the heart exerts no force on the blood during diastole C. Because the radii of the blood vessels increase during diastole while the force exerted by the heart on the blood remains the same. D. Because the radii of the blood vessels increase during diastole while the force exerted by the heart on the blood remains the same.
