The brain sends signal through the nervous system to the ligaments and tendons and muscle. The muscle pulls to contract or lift or move. It relaxes when it is done moving.

The spinal cord coordinates the movement of large muscle groups. If the spinal cord is too damaged or severed there is paralysis and any thing below the sever will no longer receive messages from the brain.
