Correct answer: A. Left cerebral hemisphere
- A. Left cerebral hemisphere
- B. Right cerebral hemisphere
- C. Hippocampus
- D. Corpus callosum
Explanation
The left cerebral hemisphere controls the movement of the right side of the body. The left hemisphere of the brain is generally responsible for language and speech, as well as logical and analytical thinking, including reading, writing, and mathematics. It controls the motor functions and sensory experiences of the right side of the body. While it plays a dominant role in these areas, especially for right-handed individuals, both brain hemispheres work together.

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.
