In the broadest sense, the motherboard sends data to the CPU. To be more specific, it would be the chipset, and particularly the northbridge.

To follow the pathway, it works something like this. The user loads a program which is on the hard drive. The hard drive sends data to the hard drive bus controller which is connected to the southbridge of the chipset. Then that goes to the northbridge into memory and back, and from the northbridge to the CPU. Of course, some modern computers use a single chipset bridge, and in that case, the other components are inside the CPU.

What part Of the computer sends signals to the rest of the computer to tell them what to do?

The part of the computer that sends signals to the rest of the system to instruct them on what to do is the central processing unit (CPU). The CPU interprets instructions from programs and executes them by coordinating the activities of other components, such as memory and input/output devices. It acts as the brain of the computer, managing and directing operations through a series of electrical signals.

How is the CPU linked to the primary storage and other devices in the computer system?

The CPU (processor?) handles all processes run on the computer, so in this case it processes and sends data to the hard drive (storage). You can think of the cpu a bit like your brain, in a way it controls everything else connected to the computer and is itself probably the most important computer component.
