Paralysis affects the opposite side of the body due to the way the nervous system is organized. Motor control signals originate in the brain and cross over to the opposite side of the body at the brainstem or spinal cord. Therefore, damage to the brain's motor areas or pathways on one side results in loss of movement and sensation on the opposite side. This contralateral effect is a fundamental characteristic of the brain's structure and function.
An "opposite side" depends on the shape that you have got. For a polygon with an even number of sides, (say 2n), the side which is opposite a given side is one that is nth from that side. In such a polygon a vertex does not have an opposite side. For a polygon with an odd number of sides, (say 2n+1), the side which is opposite a given vertex is one that is (n+1)th from that vertex. In such a polygon a side does not have an opposite side.
The side opposite the right angle is the hypotenuse.
hypotenuse*hypotenuse=opposite side*opposite side+adjecent side*adjecent side
The side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse
Damage to the left side of the brain, specifically in areas such as the motor cortex or the pathways connecting the brain to the right side of the body, can result in paralysis on the right side of the body. These areas are responsible for controlling movement on the opposite side of the body.
It is the opposite side of the body
Assisting a person with one-sided weakness or hemiparalysis is risky for a couple of reasons. First, stroke patients often have numbness or neglect on their affected side. (Neglect is basically the brain 'forgetting' about the body part affected.) This makes assisting the person difficult, at best. Secondly, if the affected side is severely weakened or paralyzed, the patient cannot use their 'good' side to any advantage unless you are on that side to help them maintain balance. It seems counter-intuitive, but it's true!
The side of the body that contains the backbone is the posterior side, also known as the dorsal side. It is opposite to the front side of the body, which is the anterior side or ventral side.
The heel of the foot is on the DORSAL side of the body.
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.
Right BrainThe effects of a stroke depend on several factors, including the location of the obstruction and how much brain tissue is affected. However, because one side of the brain controls the opposite side of the body, a stroke affecting one side will result in neurological complications on the side of the body it affects. For example, if the stroke occurs in the brain's right side, the left side of the body (and the right side of the face) will be affected, which could produce any or all of the following:Paralysis on the left side of the bodyVision problemsQuick, inquisitive behavioral styleMemory lossLeft BrainIf the stroke occurs in the left side of the brain, the right side of the body will be affected, producing some or all of the following:Paralysis on the right side of the bodySpeech/language problemsSlow, cautious behavioral styleMemory loss

The anterior side of the body refers to the front side or the part of the body that faces forward. It is the opposite of the posterior side, which is the back side of the body. Structures such as the chest, abdomen, and face are located on the anterior side of the body.
