acetylcholine
The autonomic nervous system dominates the control of effector organs under normal everyday conditions. It consists of the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions, which work together to maintain homeostasis by regulating functions such as heart rate, digestion, and respiration without conscious effort.
effector
Motor neurons are able to create a response in effector organs, muscles and glands by sending signals to them.
An effector is a part of the body (such as a muscle or gland) that carries out the response in a reflex arc. In a reflex arc, when a stimulus is detected by a sensory receptor, a message is sent via a sensory neuron to the spinal cord, where it is processed, and then a message is sent via a motor neuron to the effector causing a response.
The structure that receives output from the control center in a feedback system is typically the effector. The effector is responsible for carrying out the response dictated by the control center to maintain homeostasis or achieve the desired outcome.
The component of the ANS that is characterized by ganglion located in or near effector organs is called the parasympathetic nervous system. The ganglia of the parasympathetic nervous system are located close to or within the target organs they innervate, allowing for direct and localized control of bodily functions. This branch of the autonomic nervous system is responsible for promoting rest, digestion, and relaxation.

Neurotransmitter.
The M2 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor is the primary receptor found in effector organs of the parasympathetic system. Activation of this receptor leads to inhibition of adenylate cyclase and decreased intracellular levels of cyclic AMP, resulting in various physiological responses in target tissues.
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.
The autonomic nervous system dominates the control of effector organs under normal everyday conditions. It consists of the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions, which work together to maintain homeostasis by regulating functions such as heart rate, digestion, and respiration without conscious effort.
If the acetylcholine receptor was destroyed that the effector cells cannot respond or detect the neurotransmitter, resulting in muscle paralysis.
The component of the autonomic nervous system characterized by ganglia located in or near effector organs is the parasympathetic nervous system. This system is responsible for promoting "rest-and-digest" functions, facilitating processes like digestion and energy conservation. The ganglia in the parasympathetic system are typically situated close to or within the organs they innervate, allowing for localized control.
A junction between two neurons or between a neuron and an effector is called a synapse. At this site, neurotransmitters are released from the presynaptic neuron and bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron or effector, facilitating communication. This process allows for the transmission of signals throughout the nervous system, influencing various physiological responses. Synapses can be either chemical, involving neurotransmitter release, or electrical, allowing direct ion flow between cells.
The brain is not an effector. An effector refers to the glands and muscles doing activity.
