What is true regarding pulmonic and aortic semilunar valves in the human heart?
1. They prevent the backflow of blood from the ventricles into the atria
2. They are open during the relaxation phase of the ventricles
3. They are held tightly closed by papillary muscles and chordae tendineae
4. They regulate the passage of blood from the ventricles into the pulmonary artery and the aorta

The SA node is the normal pacemaker of the human heart because its cells
1. spontaneously generate electrical signals about 70 to 80 times per minute.
2. are located in the interventricular septum.
3. generate electrical signals only when stimulated by sympathetic fibers.
4. are not in contact with other cells of the heart.

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R): 
 

Assertion (A): When the ventricles are in systole, the atria are in diastole.
Reason (R): All four chambers of the heart can never be in systole or diastole together.


In the light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below:
 

1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true but (R) is false.
4. Both (A) and (R) are false.
