The correct Answer is:
To determine how many statements are incorrect, let's analyze each statement one by one. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement A **Statement A:** "Dura mater is the outer layer of the cranial meninges." - The dura mater is indeed the outermost layer of the meninges, which are protective coverings of the brain and spinal cord. This statement is **correct**. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement B **Statement B:** "Electrical synapses are rare in the human body." - Electrical synapses are indeed less common compared to chemical synapses in the human body. Most synapses in the nervous system are chemical. Therefore, this statement is also **correct**. ### Step 3: Analyze Statement C **Statement C:** "The tectorial membrane is found in the middle ear." - The tectorial membrane is actually located in the inner ear, specifically in the cochlea, where it plays a role in the auditory system. This statement is **incorrect**. ### Conclusion After analyzing all three statements: - Statement A: Correct - Statement B: Correct - Statement C: Incorrect Thus, there is **1 incorrect statement**. ### Final Answer The number of incorrect statements is **1**. ---
