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

Assertion A:

When a giraffe bends down to drink water, the head goes from being several meters above the heart to several meters
below it. The resulting increase in the hydrostatic pressure in the head could cause blood to pool in the veins. It may
potentially cause edema in the tissue of the head (cerebral edema), which could be life threating.

It expands to accommodate excess blood when the head is lowered. It prevents the blood from pooling in the venous
system.

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

Assertion A: Carbon monoxide poisoning is toxic because it reacts with haemoglobin to form carboxyhaemoglobin (COHb) and
COHb does not take up oxygen.

Reason R: Carbon monoxide poisoning is often listed as a form of anaemic hypoxia because the amount of haemoglobin that
can carry oxygen is reduced, but the total haemoglobin content in the blood remains unaffected.
