The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understand the Types of Smooth Muscle:** - Smooth muscles are classified into two types: single-unit smooth muscle and multi-unit smooth muscle. - Single-unit smooth muscle fibers are interconnected and contract as a single unit, while multi-unit smooth muscle fibers are independent and can contract separately. 2. **Identify the Characteristics of Multi-Unit Smooth Muscle:** - Multi-unit smooth muscle fibers are composed of independent muscle fibers. - Each fiber can contract independently, allowing for more precise control of muscle contractions. 3. **Locate Where Multi-Unit Smooth Muscle is Found:** - Multi-unit smooth muscles are found in specific locations in the body: - Erector pili muscles (associated with hair follicles) - Ciliary muscles (which control the lens shape in the eye) - Iris muscles (which control the size of the pupil) - Muscles in the walls of large blood vessels 4. **Evaluate the Options Given in the Question:** - The question asks where multi-unit smooth muscle is seen. - Based on the identified locations, the correct answer would be the organs that contain multi-unit smooth muscle. 5. **Conclude with the Correct Answer:** - The correct answer is that multi-unit smooth muscle is found in the erector pili muscles, ciliary muscles, iris muscles, and muscles of large blood vessels. **Final Answer:** Multi-unit smooth muscle is seen in the erector pili muscles, ciliary muscles, iris muscles, and muscles of large blood vessels. ---
