The correct Answer is:
To determine how many of the given statements are incorrect, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Statement A**: - Statement A claims that "Cartilage is present in between atlas and axis." - The atlas (C1) and axis (C2) are the first two cervical vertebrae in the spine. - The joint between the atlas and axis is a pivot joint, which allows for rotation of the head. - There is no cartilage between these two vertebrae; instead, they are connected by ligaments and a synovial joint. - **Conclusion**: Statement A is **incorrect**. 2. **Analyze Statement B**: - Statement B states that "In epithelium, cells are compactly arranged with little intercellular matrix." - Epithelial tissues are characterized by closely packed cells with very little intercellular matrix or space between them. - This statement is misleading because while the cells are indeed compactly arranged, the phrase "little intercellular matrix" can imply that there is some matrix, which is not the case in epithelium as it has minimal extracellular matrix. - **Conclusion**: Statement B is **incorrect**. 3. **Analyze Statement C**: - Statement C claims that "The simple epithelium consists of two or more layers of cells." - By definition, simple epithelium is composed of a single layer of cells, which distinguishes it from stratified epithelium, which has multiple layers. - **Conclusion**: Statement C is **incorrect**. ### Final Conclusion: All three statements (A, B, and C) are incorrect. Therefore, the answer to the question is that **three statements are incorrect**. ### Summary: - Statement A: Incorrect - Statement B: Incorrect - Statement C: Incorrect **Total Incorrect Statements: 3** ---
