Answer

(i) A → Artery, B → Vein
A has narrow lumen and thick muscular wall whereas B has wide lumen and thin muscular wall.

(ii) The parts numbered 1 and 2 are:

  • 1 → Endothelium
  • 2 → Lumen

(iii) The first sound "LUBB" is produced when the atrio-ventricular (tricuspid and bicuspid) valves get closed sharply at the start of ventricular systole. The second sound "DUP" is produced when at the beginning of ventricular diastole, the semilunar valves at the roots of aorta and pulmonary artery get closed.

(iv) Names of the respective blood vessels are given below:

  1. Begins and ends in capillaries — "Hepatic portal Vein".
  2. Supplies blood to the walls of the Heart — "Coronary artery".
