The brain is the organ responsible for processing the stimuli it has received from the sense organs, and transmitting (sending) messages to the rest of the body. The brain is part of the nervous system.

Effectors
Once the brain has taken in the information, processed it, and sent out a message, the effectors carry out the desired response. This is the last part of the interaction function.
Responses can be in the form of a substance; such as bile, saliva or gastric juices, or in the form of movements, such as waving your arms.
The locomotor system, made of muscles and bones, is responsible for carrying out movements.
