Nerves are the things that carries information from the body to the brain (is it hot, cold, windy, is anything hurting, is the arm bent or straight etc etc) and commands from the brain to the body. (move that leg, breathe, look left etc)

If nerves didn't reach the whole body there'd be parts of it we couldn't control and wouldn't know what was happening to it.

If you take out all the nerves in the human body and linked them together how long would it be?

The total length of all the nerves in the human body is estimated to be around 45 miles (72 kilometers). This length includes all the nerves in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) as well as the peripheral nerves throughout the body. When all these nerves are taken out and connected end to end, they would stretch approximately 45 miles in length, forming a complex network that facilitates communication between the brain and the rest of the body.

The nerves from the left side of the body cross over to the right side of the brain at the level of the brainstem in a structure called the medulla oblongata. This process is known as decussation, which allows for information from one side of the body to be processed in the opposite hemisphere of the brain.
