Asked in UHS MDCAT 2025 2025Easy66% of students get this right

Left and right cerebral hemispheres are connected with each other by:

Correct answer: B. Corpus callosum

  • A. Corpus luteum
  • B. Corpus callosum
  • C. A band of dendrites
  • D. Dorsal and ventral nerve roots

Explanation

The corpus callosum is a thick band of myelinated axons carrying traffic between the two hemispheres so that they work as one. The corpus luteum is the very similar sounding structure in the ovary that secretes progesterone after ovulation, and it is the deliberate trap here. Dorsal and ventral roots belong to the spinal nerves, not the brain.
