According to the Unit Circle, Sine and Cosine were the only trig functions that were not able to equal zero with their ratio. Sine being y/r and Cosine being x/r, the r representing 1, NEVER can the ratios equal zero. An asympototes only appear when the ratio of a trig function is equal to zero, which is why every other trig function ( CSC, SEC, TAN, COT) do have asymptotes.
