The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the assertion and reason related to the open circulatory system, we will analyze both statements step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that in an open circulatory system, blood is pumped by the heart and passes through large vessels into open spaces or body cavities called sinuses. - This statement is **true**. In organisms with an open circulatory system, such as arthropods and some mollusks, the heart pumps hemolymph (the equivalent of blood) into large vessels that then open into sinuses, allowing the fluid to bathe the organs directly. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that the distribution of blood to different organs is well regulated. - This statement is **false**. In an open circulatory system, the flow of hemolymph is not as well regulated as in a closed circulatory system. The blood is not confined to vessels and can freely flow in the body cavity (hemocoel), leading to less precise control over blood distribution to specific organs. 3. **Evaluating the Relationship**: - The assertion is true, but the reason is false. Therefore, the reason does not correctly explain the assertion. 4. **Conclusion**: - Based on the evaluation, the correct answer is that the assertion is true, and the reason is false. ### Final Answer: - The correct option is: **A is true and R is false.**

Name the sytem in which the blood pumped by the heart is circulated through large vessels into sinuses?

Assertion : The open circulatory system is more efficient than the closed circulatory system. Reason : The blood flows far more rapidly in open circulatory system than in the closed one.

Assertion : Closed circulatory system is less efficient than open circulatory system Reason : The blood flow is slow is closed circulatory system than in open circulatory system.

Assertion : Blood glands are present in earthworm Reason : Earthworm has an open type of blood vascular system.

Assertion : The opening between the right atrium and the right ventricle is guarded by a bicuspid or mitral valve. Reason : The valves in the heart allows the flow of blood only in one direction.

Assertion Arteries possess smooth muslces on their walls. Reason These smooth muscles help in regulating blood volume flowing through a tissue of organ.

Assertion : In the human body the heart acts as the pump that circulates blood through differences parts of the body, transferring heat by force convection. Reason : In forced convection , material is force to move by a pump or by some other physics means.

The blood vessels which carry blood from the heart to different parts of the body are called ................

a. Amphibians and reptiles have a 3 chambered heart with ___ atria and ___ventricle. b. Heart is ___ derived organ and protected by a double walled membranous bag called ____ c. The opening between right Atrium and Right ventricle is guarded by a valve formed of ___ muscular flaps, the ___ valve. d. The wall of ventricle is ____ than atria. e. SAN can generate the maximum number of action potential i.e., ____ mi n^(-1) . therefore it is called _____ f. Atrial systole increases the flow of blood into the ventricles by about ____ percent. g. In ____ all the four chambers of the heart are in a relax state. h. The ____ wave represents the depolarisation of the atria. i. A system of blood vessels is present in our body exclusively for the circulation of blood to and from the cardiac musculature called _____ j. PNA ____ the rate of heart beat and ______

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.
