Question
Chapter 8, Problem 2RA
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The parts of the body regulated by the brain’s right hemisphere.
Introduction:
Control and coordination is carried out by the brain. The cerebrum is identified as the brain’s major part. The cerebrum consists of both left as well as right hemispheres and they are connected by a large tract of fibers known as corpus callosum. Both the hemispheres communicate with each other by means of corpus callosum and perform their functions independently.
