proprioceptors
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.
We mostly talk about agonists and antagonists with regards to cellular receptors. An agonist binds to a receptor and activates it, an antagonist binds to the receptor, but DOES NOT activate it, and prevents it from being activated.
The stimulus is detected by the sensory receptor. The sensory receptor stimulates a sensory neuron. The sensory neuron transmits to the interneuron in the spinal cord. The interneuron stimulates a motor neuron. The motor neuron communicates to the muscle. The muscle(effector) then produces the response allowing the body to respond to the stimulus.

Sensory receptor, sensory neuron, interneuron, motor neuron, and muscle.

The receptor is the retina of the eye; smooth muscle of the iris is the effector. They both change simultaneously because the pupillary light reflex is contralateral.
muscle spindle
Stimulus is like the cause of something or the theme. The receptor is what you use fir the stimulus e.g you look at a tv guide ( stimulus) and the receptor is your eyes because you use them to see it. The effector is the muscle used To use the tv guide so this could be your hand
End of the muscle fiber I think it is the motor end plate
Muscle spindle receptors which are located in the belly's of muscles measure length of stretch and speed of change. They send this afferent neural information to the posterior horn of the spinal cord where and interneuron interprets the information and if the stretch is ballistic (if it changes length too rapidly) it will trigger an efferent motor unit, or many motor units, through the anterior horn of the spinal cord to contract the muscle.
No, it is somewhat similar but it is a anxiolytic that works on the GABAA receptor (like benzo's) but it is a classified as a Carbamate.
The stimulus is detected by the sensory receptor. The sensory receptor stimulates a sensory neuron. The sensory neuron transmits to the interneuron in the spinal cord. The interneuron stimulates a motor neuron. The motor neuron communicates to the muscle. The muscle(effector) then produces the response allowing the body to respond to the stimulus.
