Instructions are executed in sequence, second instruction follows the first, and so on.
Arithmetic, logic, and data movement instructions follow this criteria.
Another type of instruction, control instruction, changes sequence of instruction execution.
Control instructions change PC, (Instruction Pointer register EIP on 32-bit Intel x86 platforms) during the Execute Phase of the Instruction Cycle.
