      The brain controls all the muscles in your body and receives all the information you take in via your eyes and ears and processes it so you can react.

      The brain does not control some things though. For example the brain does not control the heart (which can continue to beat without the heart) and it does not control some hormone responses that happen in your body.

      So the brain is mainly important in how you act consciously and keeping you moving. If your brain were to shut down then apart from keeping you breathing/eating, the rest of your body could cope without it.

      Your brain doesn’t control your heart ???? No doubt your heart can beat on its own but it dosn’t because outside the body it dies. The brain and other reflexs control how fast your heart beats…..No
