What is the top of the body?

Does the brain tell the stomach to
digest food? Or does the stomach
produce sugar and tell the brain
to think?

Does the brain tell the
testicles to produce testosterone
and turn a child into a man? Or
do the testicles tell the brain to
think like a man?

Way too many tissues/organs produce
chemicals that control the brain for
me to ever believe that the brain
controls the body.

Perhaps, the top of the body
in the DNA or mitocondria. Every
cell has them, and every cell works
in accordance with the pattern set
by the DNA or mitocrondria. Though
any individual cell might look
and do radically different things
than other cells. Perhaps then the
top of the body is the idea that
has been written down in the form
of DNA.

I cannot conceive of any sort of top
down governance neither in my own body
nor in the body of Zion.
