In ECG, P-R interval corresponds toA. time delay in A-V nodeB. S-A nodal conduction timeC. increased ventricular contractionD. time interval between onset of ventricular contraction

Answer» Correct Answer - A
In ECG, P-R interval is the time from the beginning of the P wave to the beginning of the ORS complex. It corresponds to the time lag from the onset of atrial depolarisation to the onset of ventricular depolarisation. Most of the delay occurs in the AV node.

Foramen ovaleA. Connects the two atria in the foetal heartB. Connects pulmonary trunk and aorta in foetusC. Is condition in which heart valves do not completely closeD. Is a shallow depression in the inter-ventricular septum

Answer» Correct Answer - A
In the foetal heart, foramen ovale is an opening in the inter-atrial septum which is closed in adult and represented by an oval depression called foss ovalis.
In the embryonic period, a blood vessel called suctus arteriosus shunts blood from the pulmonary aorta into systemic aorta.
But after birth, ductus arteriosus closes, leaving a remnant called ligamentum arteriosum. The artium and the ventricle of the same side are also separated by a thick fibrous tissue called the atrio-ventricular ceptum.

What is the significance of hepatic portal system in the circulatory system?

Answer» Hepatic portal System
There .is special vascular connection that exists between the digestive tract and live: in a chordates and is called as hepatic portal system. This system carries blood from intestine to the liver before it is delivered to the systemic circulation.
Significance of hepatic portal system in circulatory system
(i) Blood that comes from alimentary canal contain glucose. amino acids and other nutrients. The liver absorbs excess of fats and glucose to be used at the time of starvation when blood passess through given.
Harmful nitrogenous wastes like ammonia is converted into urea which is later removed by kidney
Liver produces proteins which are transproted through blood circulation fibrinogen for blood clotting .

Assertion : Atria act as primer pumps that increase the ventricular pumping Reason : About 80 precent of the blood flows directly through the atria into ventricles.A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertionB. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertionC. If assertion is true but reason is falseD. If both assertion and reason are false

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Blood normally flows continually from the great veins into the aria , about `80` percent of the blood flows directly through the atria into the ventricles even before the atria contract. Then atrial contraction usually causes an additional `20` percent filling of the ventricles. Therefore, the atria simply function as primer pumps that incerase the vertricular pumping effectiveness as much as `20` percent.

A vein which does not carry blood directly to the heart but carries blood to another organ is called portal vein.
The flow of deoxygenated blood from the digestive tract to the liver before returning to the heart is called hepatic portal circulation.
Glucose is carried from digestive track to liver by hepatic portal vein.
Blood leaves the liver through the hepatic vein.
