The correct Answer is:
To determine where the largest smooth muscles occur, we can analyze each option provided in the question: 1. **Understanding Smooth Muscles**: - Smooth muscles are involuntary muscles that do not have striations. They are found in various organs and structures in the body. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A: Leg** - The leg primarily consists of skeletal muscles, which are voluntary and striated, not smooth muscles. - **Option B: Thigh** - Similar to the leg, the thigh is also made up of skeletal muscles, not smooth muscles. - **Option C: Uterus of pregnant woman** - The uterus contains smooth muscles, which are responsible for contractions during childbirth. The uterus expands significantly during pregnancy, indicating that it has large smooth muscle fibers. - **Option D: Urethra** - The urethra has some smooth muscle, but it is not as large or significant as that found in the uterus. 3. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the largest smooth muscles are found in the **uterus of a pregnant woman**. Therefore, the correct answer is **Option C**.
