The left side of the body is controlled by:
Correct answer: B. Right cerebral hemisphere
- A. Left cerebral hemisphere
- B. Right cerebral hemisphere
- C. Hippocampus
- D. Corpus callosum
Explanation
The left side of the body is controlled by the right side of the brain. This is because the corpus callosum, a thick band of nerve fibers that connects the two hemispheres of the brain, crosses over to the opposite side. This means that the right side of the brain receives information from the left side of the body and controls the muscles on the left side of the body.

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.
