The first movement in the human body is that of the heart. It is myogenic meaning that the initiation of movement takes place within the muscle as opposed to neurogenic movements which are driven by the nervous system.
“It is necessary, therefore, for that which moves itself to have a part that causes motion but is unmoved and a part that is moved but does not necessarily cause motion” – Aristotle
