The correct Answer is:
To determine how many statements about the human nervous system are incorrect, let's analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement (i)**: "A multipolar neuron is with one axon and two or more dendrites, found in the cerebral cortex." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. Multipolar neurons have one axon and multiple dendrites, which is typical for neurons found in the cerebral cortex. 2. **Statement (ii)**: "In resting condition, the sodium-potassium pump transports 3 Na^(+) inwards and 2 K^(+) outwards the cell." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. In a resting state, the sodium-potassium pump actually transports 3 Na^(+) ions out of the cell and 2 K^(+) ions into the cell. Therefore, this statement is false. 3. **Statement (iii)**: "Midbrain and hindbrain form the brain stem including the cerebellum." - **Analysis**: This statement is also incorrect. The brain stem is composed of the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata, but it does not include the cerebellum. The cerebellum is a separate structure located behind the brain stem. 4. **Statement (iv)**: "The pons of the hindbrain is directly connected to the spinal cord to control respiration." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. The pons is not directly connected to the spinal cord; it is connected to cranial nerves and indirectly influences respiration through its connections. ### Conclusion: - **Correct Statements**: 1 (Statement i) - **Incorrect Statements**: 3 (Statements ii, iii, and iv) Thus, the total number of incorrect statements is **3**. ### Final Answer: **3 statements are incorrect.**
