Which four sense organs send nerves right into the brain?

What is the largest organ in the nerves system?

Purpose of nerves?
Nerves send information to your brain such has if something is hot or cold. And your brain also sends messages through your nerves such has lift the arm, left leg forward, right leg up, so on and so forth

What is the origin of the sense of smell?
The sense of smell originates from the first cranial nerves (the olfactory nerves), which sit at the base of the brain's frontal lobes, right behind the eyes and above the nose. Inhaled airborne chemicals stimulate these nerves.
Why does the left side of the brain control the right side of the body and vice versa What benefit can this possibly bring to efficient brain functioning?
The physical reason is that the nerves cross over each other inside the brain, and nerves on the right side of the brain cross to run down the left side of the body, etc. Nobody really knows exactly why this evolved.
Does the right side of your brain control the right side of the body?
Yes, the nerves projecting from each hemisphere cross at the medulla, causing the left side of the brain to control movement in the right of the body, and vice versa.
What is the basic unit of the nervous system?
the basic functional unit of the nervous system is the neuron.
What structure allows the right and left side of the brain to communicate?
The corpus callosum
What lobe of the brain causes loss of control of skeletal muscles on the right side?
As you probably know the right side is controlled by the left side of the brain and vice-versa. I am a brain injury survivor and found that severe damage to oine of my cranial nerves serves as my answer to uncontrolloble eye twitching, etc. Look up cranial nerves I-12. I hope this helps!
