The type of muscles present in ourMuscles of the limbs, such as those of the thigh and upper arm, are skeletal muscles: they are attached to bones, have a striped appearance (striated) and are under the control of the will (voluntary).
So 'thigh muscles are striated and voluntary' is correct, and the upper arm does not have smooth muscle.
Heart muscle is cardiac muscle: it is involuntary but striated, not unstriated.
Intestinal muscle is visceral (smooth) muscle: it is unstriated and involuntary, with spindle-shaped (fusiform) fibres.
Hence the correct statement is that the muscles of the thigh are striated and voluntary.

Which one of the following is the correct pairing of a body part and the kind of muscle tissue that moves it?The iris contains circular and radial smooth muscle fibres that change the size of the pupil; they are not under the control of the will. So 'iris – involuntary smooth muscle' is correct.
The heart wall is made of cardiac muscle, which is involuntary but striated.
The biceps of the upper arm is a skeletal muscle: striated and voluntary.
The muscles of the abdominal wall are also skeletal (striated, voluntary) muscles.
Hence the correct pairing is iris – involuntary smooth muscle.
