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 organ is a part of the body that responds to a stimulus and a stimulus is a change in the environment that is detected by a receptor. And is a receptor is a nerve cell that detects a stimulus.
At the effector end (nerve to effector organ junction) the transmitter is Nor Adrenaline. However, at the nerve-nerve junctions (ganglions) the transmitter is Acetyl Choline.
thymus, which is a small organ that is located in the chest.

acetylcholine
Motor neurons are able to create a response in effector organs, muscles and glands by sending signals to them.
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.
opposite in direction to the change produced by the initial stimulus
Yes, the axon conducts the action potential from the cell body to the effector organ.
At the effector end (nerve to effector organ junction) the transmitter is Nor Adrenaline. However, at the nerve-nerve junctions (ganglions) the transmitter is Acetyl Choline.
It's not easy to be sure what is meant here. The sight organ is the eye, and the sound organ is the ear, but these are sense organs, i.e. they contain receptors. The larynx makes sound, and this could be classed as an effector if you shout in response to a stimulus, but you can't really think of sight in this way.

It is a receptor because it has gustatory organs called taste buds that have chemoreceptors and it is an effector because it is also made of muscles that help you manipulate and swallow food, as well as speak. So, it does both recepting and effecting.
A reflex action is a fast, automatic response to a stimulus by an effector organ i.e. a muscle.
