12. Control of the body is contra- lateral which :
A. the right side of the body controls the left side of the brain
B. the right side of the brain controls the right side of the body
C. the left side of the brain controls the left side of the body
D. the left side of the brain controls the right side of the body
control of the body is contra- lateral: the right side of the body is controlled by the left motor and sensory areas, while the left side of the body is controlled by the right motor and sensory areas.
Thus, left-handed people have right- dominant motor areas, while right-handed people have left-dominant motor areas.
