The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following options is not exclusively supplied with involuntary muscles, we need to analyze each option in terms of the type of muscle present. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Types of Muscles**: - **Involuntary Muscles**: These muscles are not under conscious control. They include smooth muscles (found in visceral organs) and cardiac muscles (found in the heart). - **Voluntary Muscles**: These muscles are under conscious control and are primarily skeletal muscles. 2. **Analyze Each Option**: - **Option 1: Muscular Cord of Blood Vessels**: - Blood vessels are surrounded by smooth muscles that control the diameter of the vessels (vasoconstriction and vasodilation). These muscles are involuntary. - **Option 2: Ducts of the Glands**: - The ducts of glands also contain smooth muscles that help in the secretion process. These muscles are involuntary. - **Option 3: Muscles of the Iris**: - The iris muscles control the size of the pupil and respond to light intensity. These muscles are also involuntary. - **Option 4: Urethra**: - The urethra has two types of sphincters: - **Internal Urethral Sphincter**: Made of smooth muscle and is involuntary. - **External Urethral Sphincter**: Made of skeletal muscle and is under voluntary control. 3. **Conclusion**: - Among the options, the urethra is the only structure that contains both involuntary (internal sphincter) and voluntary (external sphincter) muscles. Therefore, the correct answer is **Option 4: Urethra**. ### Final Answer: **The urethra is not exclusively supplied with involuntary muscles.** ---
