How left hemisphere governs right and vice versa?

Dear Student.
Please find below the solution to the asked query.

There are two hemispheres in brain, right and left. The right part of brain controls the muscles of left side and left part of brain controls the  muscles of right side, as tracts of nerves are connected in crossing ways. Nerves coming from right part of brain connect to left side muscles of the body and so nerves coming from left part of brain connect to the right side muscles of the body. Also the sensory nerves carrying information from sensory organs to brain connect in such crossing way. This is the reason for why damage to one side of the brain affects the opposite side of the body.
