Question:

Consider the following statements: Statement I: Both anal sphincters are formed by smooth muscles in man. Statement II: Renin converts the milk into curd.

Show Hint

Internal anal sphincter = Smooth muscle (involuntary) External anal sphincter = Skeletal muscle (voluntary) Renin (Chymosin) helps coagulation of milk in infants.

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Concept: The human digestive system contains two anal sphincters:
• Internal anal sphincter $\rightarrow$ Smooth muscle (involuntary).
• External anal sphincter $\rightarrow$ Skeletal muscle (voluntary). Renin (Rennin/Chymosin) is an enzyme found in infants that converts milk protein casein into paracasein and helps curd formation.

Step 1:
Examine Statement I. Internal anal sphincter is made of smooth muscle. External anal sphincter is made of skeletal muscle. Therefore both sphincters are not smooth muscles. Hence Statement I is false.

Step 2:
Examine Statement II. Renin acts on milk protein casein. \[ \text{Casein} \xrightarrow{\text{Renin}} \text{Paracasein} \] This causes coagulation of milk and formation of curd. Hence Statement II is true.

Step 3:
Choose the correct option. Statement I $\rightarrow$ False Statement II $\rightarrow$ True \[ \boxed{\text{Option (D)}} \]
