The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate each statement regarding the human skeleton and determine whether they are correct or incorrect. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement (a): Human skeleton has 206 bones.** - This statement is **correct**. The adult human skeleton typically consists of 206 bones. 2. **Statement (b): There are 12 pairs of ribs in humans.** - This statement is also **correct**. Humans have 12 pairs of ribs, which include true ribs, false ribs, and floating ribs. 3. **Statement (c): Sternum is present on the dorsal side of the body.** - This statement is **incorrect**. The sternum, or breastbone, is located on the ventral (front) side of the body, not the dorsal (back) side. 4. **Statement (d): All mammals (except a few) have 8 cervical vertebrae.** - This statement is **incorrect**. Most mammals, including humans, have 7 cervical vertebrae. Only a few species, such as some sloths, have more. 5. **Statement (e): Ribs are bicephalic.** - This statement is **correct**. Ribs are considered bicephalic because they have two heads (or ends) that articulate with the vertebrae. ### Summary of Statements: - **Correct Statements:** (a), (b), (e) - **Incorrect Statements:** (c), (d) ### Final Answer: The correct statements are (a), (b), and (e), while the wrong statements are (c) and (d).
