During the hellenistic age, herophilus determined
a. that the sun was the center of the solar system
b. that equals 3.14
c. that embalming prevented decay after a person died
d. that the brain is the center of the nervous system

The correct answer would be D. Herophilus discovered that the center of the nervous system is the brain. Believed to be the first anatomist, he was the first person to dissect humans in order to conduct studies on how the human bodily functions work. He also made books that published his works on how the blood flows from the heart. He corrected the belief that intellect comes from the heart, and he was the first person to give importance to the cerebellum and cerebrum portions of the brain.
