The brain is divided into how many hemispheres
A
Four
B
Five
C
Two
D
Three
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cerebrum is divided into the left and right hemispheres by a deep longitudinal fissure; the two hemispheres remain in contact and communication with one another by the corpus callosum. Each hemisphere further subdivides into a frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal lobe.

Detailed explanation-2: -One half of the cerebrum, the part of the brain that controls muscle functions and also controls speech, thought, emotions, reading, writing, and learning. The right hemisphere controls the muscles on the left side of the body, and the left hemisphere controls the muscles on the right side of the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Northern Hemisphere contains North America, the northern part of South America, Europe, the northern two-thirds of Africa, and most of Asia. The Southern Hemisphere contains most of South America, one-third of Africa, Australia, Antarctica, and some Asian islands.

Detailed explanation-4: -Scientists have long known that the differnt halves of human brains perform different functions. For example, the left half-or left hemisphere-is generally responsible for language and speech, whereas the right one generally handles emotions and facial recognition.

Detailed explanation-5: -The human brain is basically symmetrical, split down the middle: the right cerebral hemisphere receives sensory input from and directs movement on the left side of the body, while the left hemisphere governs corresponding functions for the right side. Symmetry only goes so far, however-there are differences, too.
