The correct Answer is:
To determine how many of the statements (A - E) are incorrect, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement A: Thyrocalcitonin is a hypocalcaemic hormone.** - **Analysis:** This statement is correct. Thyrocalcitonin, also known as calcitonin, is produced by the thyroid gland and helps lower blood calcium levels, making it a hypocalcaemic hormone. 2. **Statement B: Isthmus in the thyroid is a thin flat bone of connective tissue.** - **Analysis:** This statement is incorrect. The isthmus of the thyroid is not a bone; it is a band of thyroid tissue that connects the two lobes of the thyroid gland. It is made of glandular tissue, not connective tissue. 3. **Statement C: The ovulation from the Graafian follicles is mediated by LH.** - **Analysis:** This statement is correct. Luteinizing hormone (LH) is responsible for triggering ovulation from the Graafian follicles in females. 4. **Statement D: The source of FSH and TSH is the same.** - **Analysis:** This statement is correct. Both Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) are produced by the anterior pituitary gland. 5. **Statement E: Hormones are non-nutrient chemicals.** - **Analysis:** This statement is correct. Hormones act as chemical messengers in the body and are indeed classified as non-nutrient chemicals. ### Summary of Findings: - **Correct Statements:** A, C, D, E (4 statements) - **Incorrect Statements:** B (1 statement) ### Conclusion: Only **1 statement (B)** is incorrect. ### Final Answer: **1 statement is incorrect.** ---
