Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The left side of the body is controlled by the right side of the brain.
A
True
B
False
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Each hemisphere is in charge of the opposite side of the body, so your right brain controls your left hand. The right hemisphere also takes in sensory input from your left side and vice versa. The brain is segmented into regions called lobes. Your lobes isolate your brain’s functions to specific areas.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The right side controls attention, memory, reasoning, and problem solving. RHD may lead to problems with these important thinking skills. A person with RHD may have trouble communicating with others because of this damage.

Detailed explanation-4: -The hemispheres communicate with each other through the corpus callosum which is a bundle of fibers between the hemispheres. Each hemisphere controls muscles and glands on the opposite side of the body (i.e. the right side of the brain or hemisphere controls the left side of the body.)

Detailed explanation-5: -The brain’s left half is primarily responsible for speech and abstract thinking. It also controls the right side of the body. The right side of the brain is responsible for image processing, spatial thinking, and movement in the left side of the body. The left and right sides of the brain connect via nerve fibers.
