and from perceptions in the muscles, joints and skin. Billions of units of
information are processed and analyzed every second, and new deci-
sions taken accordingly.
The muscles and joints contain billions of tiny micro-receptors,
whose messages reach the central nervous system and in the light of the
analyses carried out in the nervous system, new commands are given to
the muscles. Even when you want to wave to a friend, wide-ranging cal-
culations, comparisons and intense communications all enter your deci-
sion to raise your hand. The sequential contraction and expansion of
your tricep and bicep muscles, those muscles forward of your elbow that

are essential. At every stage of this movement, millions of receptors in-
side the muscles inform the brain of their position. The following instant,
the brain tells your muscles exactly what to do next.
The brain stem, working together with the cerebellum,
provides the vital support systems in our bodies
and also regulates the contraction of some
smooth muscles. Thanks to these two or-
