Frog’s heart when taken out of the body continues to beat for some time. Select the best option from the following statements.(a) Frog is a poikilotherm.(b) Frog does not have any coronary circulation.(c) Heart is myogenic in nature.(d) Heart is auto-excitable.
To solve this problem, we need to determine why a frog's heart continues to beat after being removed from the body. Let's analyze each statement:(a) Frog is a poikilotherm: - Poikilotherms are organisms whose internal temperature varies considerably. - This characteristic does not directly explain why the heart continues to beat outside the body.(b) Frog does not have any coronary circulation: - Coronary circulation refers to the blood supply to the heart muscle itself. - The absence of coronary circulation is not related to the heart's ability to beat outside the body.(c) Heart is myogenic in nature: - A myogenic heart can initiate its own contractions without external stimuli. - This property allows the heart to continue beating even when removed from the body.(d) Heart is auto-excitable: - An auto-excitable heart can generate its own electrical impulses, leading to continuous beating. - This is another reason why the heart can beat outside the body.Based on the analysis, the correct explanation involves both the myogenic and auto-excitable nature of the heart.Therefore, the correct option is Option 3: (c) and (d).
