The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given assertion and reason, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that "ECG is a graphical representation of the electrical activity of the heart during the cardiac cycle." - **Explanation**: An Electrocardiogram (ECG) is indeed a graphical representation that shows the electrical impulses that trigger each heartbeat, reflecting the heart's activity throughout the cardiac cycle. ### Step 2: Understand the Reason The reason provided is that "To obtain a standard ECG, the patient is connected to a machine with two leads, one with the left wrist and one with the left ankle." - **Explanation**: This statement is incorrect. To obtain a standard ECG, a patient is typically connected using three leads: two on the wrists (one on each wrist) and one on the left ankle. ### Step 3: Evaluate the Truth of Each Statement - The assertion is true because it accurately describes what an ECG represents. - The reason is false because it incorrectly states the number of leads used to obtain a standard ECG. ### Step 4: Conclusion Based on the evaluations: - The assertion is true, but the reason is false. ### Final Answer The correct option is: **Assertion is true, but the reason is false.** ---

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.
