Yes; that [causing an Effect] is what they were designed to do.
They are effectors as they bring about a response.
afferent and efferent Afferent (to the spinal cord and brain) Efferent (to an effector such as a muscle or gland)
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.
effector
Effector part = globus pallidusSensory part (or the receptor nuclei) = caudate nucleus + putamen
An effector is at the end of a reflex arc as it is the muscle or gland that 'does' the reflex. What the effector does is the outcome of the reflex arc.
The effector cell responds to a nerve impulse and can be either a muscle cell or a gland cell.
The pineal gland synthesizes melatonin.

it transmits a signal through the the central nervous system ( CNS ) until it reaches a salivary gland (effector) :)
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 such as a muscle or gland brings about response in the nervous system.
Effector. Memory Aid = The Effector really should be called the Effectee, since it's the one getting effected. Its cheesey but helped me memorize it...
