Which one of the following is correct pairing of a body part and the kind of muscle tissue that moves it?
- Biceps of upper arm – smooth muscle fibres
- Iris – Involuntary smooth muscle
- Abdominal wall – smooth muscle
- Heart wall – Involuntary unstriated muscle
Answer
(2) Iris – Involuntary smooth muscle
Solution
As per NCERT, skeletal muscles (striated, voluntary) are attached to bones, e.g. biceps; the muscles of the abdominal wall are also skeletal muscles.
Cardiac muscle of the heart wall is striated and involuntary.
Smooth muscles are involuntary and unstriated; the muscles of the iris are smooth muscles.
'Iris – Involuntary smooth muscle' is the correct pairing.
