A large number of bundle fibers that connect the left and right cerebral hemispheres is:

Correct answer: C. Corpus callosum

  • A. Lateral sulcus
  • B. Broca's area
  • C. Corpus callosum
  • D. Ventral sulcus

Explanation

The corpus callosum is a thick band of nerve fibers connecting the left and right cerebral hemispheres of the brain. It facilitates communication and coordination between the two hemispheres, allowing them to work together in integrated functions such as perception, motor control, and cognition. Through the transmission of neural impulses, the corpus callosum enables the exchange of information and synchronization of activities between the hemispheres, contributing to various aspects of higher brain function. Its role in interhemispheric connectivity highlights its importance in integrating and coordinating complex neural processes.

About Coordination and Control

Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
