    Search nervous system.. Brain orders the body to move.. As answerer said there are also some involuntary moves where the body reacts without brain command

    Our limbic system within the brain takes over when all else fails.

    It consists of various glands within the brain:-

    the hypothalamus, the pituitary, the amygdala and the hippocampus.

    These glands control our fight or flight response, our sexual desire, our pursuit of power and the necessary responses for the survival of the fittest.

    This information is readily available if you simply google the question.

    Chemical compounds and electrical impulses, if we have the correct combinations of these we function as normal beings.

    What controls the brain is different for men and women.

    men: the penis

    women: hormones
