The effector muscle is the biceps brachii.
Effector
Yes, the effector of a skeletal muscle is part of a somatic reflex. Somatic reflexes involve the contraction of skeletal muscles in response to a stimulus, and the effector in this case is the skeletal muscle itself that carries out the response.
The effector cell responds to a nerve impulse and can be either a muscle cell or a gland cell.
The quadriceps femoris muscle.
A Receptor is referring to a sense organ, like a nerve ending. An Effector is referring to a muscle capable of reflecting to a stimulus. By definition, receptor and effector are antonyms.
In biology, an effector is an organ that reacts to the external stimuli on receiving signals from the central nervous system. An example is when the adrenal gland secretes adrenaline in response to stress or danger.
The effector muscle for the calcaneal reflex (also known as the Achilles reflex) is the gastrocnemius muscle in the calf. When the Achilles tendon is tapped, it causes a contraction of the gastrocnemius muscle, resulting in plantar flexion of the foot.

to contract to cause movement.

Muscle tissue would be the effector in this scenario, as it contracts and moves in response to the stimulus of getting stabbed with a nail.
