Your brain is constantly sending messages to your muscles in order to maintain a proper muscle tone. If it were not for this we would all be flaccid like worms. And to answer your question yes, the brain stops sending nerve impulses to your muscles in order for them to stop contracting.

Brain stops sending the message; compare a person with no-brain function and a sleeping one and a recently dead person, muscles of all of them are not receiving signals from their brains, you cannot tell which one of them is dead just by touching one arm and manipulating it (ok maybe dead person starts becoming cold a little). On a conscious person there’s a “basal tone” this is a very low contraction of several muscles that keeps us on a certain posture.

there are two muscles in each part of your body, take your arm for example. your brain sends a message to one muscle to relax, and the other to contract, and this makes your arm bend. when the brain wants the arm to straighten, it sends signals to the contracted one to relax and vice versa. â¥bâ¥

Your brain continually sends signals :you have 2 nervous systems in your body,sympathetic and autonomic.the first controls the actions you consciously think about and the other controls what is not really a thought,...I t does tell them to relax.I have a pain condition that is based on the fact that the part that does it's own thing reads pain all the time.
