The optic nerves and the pyramidal tracts are two examples of nerves that decussate, or cross over to the opposite side of the body, within the brain. This crossing of nerve fibers helps with the coordination of sensory and motor functions between the brain and the rest of the body.
The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is divided into two groups of nerves: sensory nerves, which transmit information from the body to the central nervous system, and motor nerves, which transmit information from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands to produce a response.
The two optic nerves reach the diencephalon at the optic chiasm, a structure located at the base of the brain where the nerves partially cross over each other. From the optic chiasm, the optic nerves continue on to the thalamus within the diencephalon.
These "channels " are actually nerves termed as Afferent and Efferent nerves usually called motor and sensory nerves.
The primary nerves involved in breathing are the phrenic nerve and the intercostal nerves. The phrenic nerve controls the diaphragm, the main muscle involved in breathing, while the intercostal nerves control the muscles between the ribs that help with the mechanics of breathing.
A synapse.
This term means a union (joining) of nerves, blood vessels or lymphatics.

The nerves responsible for transmitting signals between the brain and the rest of the body are called the cranial nerves and the spinal nerves.
The two types of peripheral nerves are somatic and autonomic nerves.
You get a curve. If you join them along the shortest [Euclidean] distance between them, you get a straight line.
