Assertion: Neural signals through the parasympathetic nerves can increase the cardiac output.
Reason: Parasympathetic neurons stimulation can increase the activities of SA node and strength
of ventricular contraction.
Assertion: Ear is a stato Acoustic organ.
Reason: Ear is related to hearing & balance.
