What is The point at which the nerves from the left side of the body cross over into the right side of the brain and vice versa?

There is only one place in the brain where nerves actually cross each other. I believe it is the Optic nerve and the Trochlear nerve. I'll add a picture under the weblink

What is the largest organ in the nerves system?
The largest organ in the central nervous system is the brian. ( trust me this is the right answer, i looked it up and it was right)
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.
When a mosquito bites your left arm this will first activate the which lobe of your brain?
RIGHT LOBE. Because sensory and motor, both types of fibers cross to apposite side of the brain, in the area behind central sulcus, called as post central gyrus you have sensory area there. In front of the central sulcus, you have a motor area, called pro central gyrus. ( Sensory nerves carry signals to words brain and motor nerves carry sensations away from brain.)
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!
The left side of the brain controls right side of the body and vice versa..what do you call the part where they meet?
The corpus callosum connects the two brain hemispheres. It is a bundle of 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.
Where is the cranial located?
The cranial nerves are located outside of the brain and skull. These nerves come right from the brain and brain stem.
Which four sense organs send nerves right into the brain?
its i believe sensory nerves
Why doesn't damage in the right visual cortex result in blindness of the right eye?
The right side of the brain controls the left side of the body. Also the optic nerves cross over when they leave the eyes.
Because major nerves cross over each other beneath the cerebrum your left brain is likely to be associated with your right hand as well as with?
Verbal, logical, and analytical thinking.
What is the largest organ in the nerves system?
The largest organ in the central nervous system is the brian. ( trust me this is the right answer, i looked it up and it was right)
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 happens to the nerves when they are damaged?
messages to the brain will be canceled and your body won't work right.
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.
Which hemisphere controls the right side of the body?
Neurons cross from the right side to the left, as do neurons cross from the left to the right, meaning your right side of your brain controls your left, and your left controls your right side.
When a mosquito bites your left arm this will first activate the which lobe of your brain?
RIGHT LOBE. Because sensory and motor, both types of fibers cross to apposite side of the brain, in the area behind central sulcus, called as post central gyrus you have sensory area there. In front of the central sulcus, you have a motor area, called pro central gyrus. ( Sensory nerves carry signals to words brain and motor nerves carry sensations away from brain.)
