Explanation / Answer

41.

The given statement is false. Heart contains autorhythmic tissues that are composed of specialized noncontractile cardiac cells and include sinoatrial node (SA node), atrioventricular node (AV node), bundle of His and Purkinje fibers. The right atrial wall contains a small and specialized region located in at the opening of superior vena cava is called SA node. The SA node is also known as pacemaker and generates about 70 – 80 action potentials/min. A small bundle of specialized cardiac muscle cells found at the base of right atrium near the septum and above the junction of atria and ventricles is called the AV node. The AV node generates about 40 – 60 action potentials/min.

42. The given statement is True. High density lipoproteins remove fat from cells that export fat. Increased HDL levels in cells export more fat and remove fat deposition from cells and prevent atherosclerosis.

43.  The given statement is True. Histamine is produced during allergic response. Mast cells release the histamine that triggers the inflammation in the body. Usually histamine increases the permeability of blood vessels causing vasdopermeability. Histamine has 4 receptors called H1, H2, H3 and H4. Histamine binding H1 receptor innervating samooth muscle causes vasoconstriction.

44. The given statement is False. In mammals, the pulmonary capillary blood exposed to air on both the sides of intra-alveolar septum and this arrangement of blood capillaries is called single capillary system but the airflow in lungs is bidirectional. In birds, the lung volume is small and do not inflate and deflate but maintain a constant volume. The lungs are unidirectionally ventilated and the supporting air sacs inflate and deflate. Thus, unidirectional airflow enables to completely ventilate the birds' lungs and enable them to fly.
