The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate each statement regarding neurons and the brain to identify the incorrect one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Evaluate the First Statement**: - The statement claims that "efferent neurons carry impulse from the central nervous system to the peripheral tissues." - **Analysis**: This is true. Efferent neurons, also known as motor neurons, transmit signals from the central nervous system (CNS) to effectors (muscles or glands) in the peripheral tissues. **Hint**: Remember the function of efferent neurons in the nervous system. 2. **Evaluate the Second Statement**: - The statement mentions that "the granular bodies are found in the cytons of the neurons." - **Analysis**: This is also true. The granular bodies, or Nissl bodies, are found in the cell body (soma or cyton) of neurons and are involved in protein synthesis. **Hint**: Consider the structure of neurons and where protein synthesis occurs. 3. **Evaluate the Third Statement**: - The statement asserts that "the unipolar neurons have only one dendrite." - **Analysis**: This is incorrect. Unipolar neurons have one axon and no true dendrites; they have a single process that extends from the cell body, which branches into two parts (one going to the periphery and one to the CNS). **Hint**: Recall the characteristics of unipolar neurons and their structure. 4. **Evaluate the Fourth Statement**: - The statement states that "the durameter is in contact with the cranium." - **Analysis**: This is true. The dura mater is the outermost layer of the meninges and is in direct contact with the skull (cranium). **Hint**: Think about the layers of the meninges and their relationship with the skull and brain. ### Conclusion: After evaluating all statements, the incorrect statement is the third one, which claims that unipolar neurons have only one dendrite. Therefore, the answer to the question is: **Answer**: The third statement is incorrect.
