Secant is the reciprocal of cosine. Secant will have an asymptote whenever cosine is equal to zero. The asymptote will be at pi/2, 3pi/2. On the first curve, it goes up next to the asymptote because the recicprocal of a fraction will make the number big, therefore will have to increased the curve. The curve will touch the "mountain" based on ASTC however, it will never touch the asymptote.
Cosecant will have an asymptote whenever sine is equal to zero because cosecant is the reciprocal of sine. Sine is zero at 0, pi, 2pi. The curve will depend on the ASTC of Sine. Sine is positive in qudrant 1,2. Because of that, the graph will be above the x asix. In qudrant 3,4 sine is negative. The graph will be below the x axix and will get close to the asymptote.
