The left side of your brain controls what part of the body?

The left side of the brain primarily controls the right side of the body. This is due to the crossing over of nerve fibers, known as decussation, in the brainstem. This means that if there is damage to the left side of the brain, it can affect motor function on the right side of the body and vice versa.


What side of the brain does the right side control of the body?

The left side of the brain deals more with language and helps to analyze information given to the brain. If you injure the left side of the brain, you're aware that things aren't working (the right hemisphere is doing its job) but are unable to solve complex problems or do a complex activity.


Why is the left side affected after a brain hemorrhage on the right side?

due to the crossing of nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord that cross from left side to right side. For example, motor nerves leaving the brain on the left side will decussate (cross from one side to the other) in the spinal cord so that when they leave the spinal cord, they flow out to muscles on the opposite side of the body.

Why would someone not be paralyzed on the right side of face if they had a stroke that paralyzed the right side?

first, to answer this question one must understand what a stroke is. A stroke isa sudden atteck of weakness affecting one side of the body. It is the consequence interruption to blood flow to the brain and this can be due to so many conditions like trauma, thrombus or infection. Knowing that astroke affects the brain and the brain being the power house of the body means a lot. The brain contains two hemispheres the left and right and in must people the left is the dominant sphere. The left sphere powers the right side of the body and the right sphere powers the left side of the body(rigth handed people most times have left has dominant and vice versa). The brain can only suvive 5minute without oxygen suppy therefore any disease or tauma that can interrupt blood supply to the brain will cause damage to it which will ead to weakness or paralysis of the contralateral side depending on how severe the damage is. Most times the damage done on the dominant side affects the ipslateral side of the body.
