Muscles and glands are the possible effectors of a reflex arc
Effectors of a reflex arc are primarily muscles and glands. Muscles are responsible for carrying out the response by contracting or relaxing, while glands may secrete hormones in response to the stimulus.
PNS delivers motor response from CNS to effectors...
The brain is not one of the essential components of a reflex arc. Reflex arcs involve sensory receptors, afferent neurons, interneurons, efferent neurons, and effectors, but they do not involve the brain in the reflex loop.
In the reflex arc, a muscle or gland is considered to be the effector. Its role is to respond to the stimulus provided by the sensory neuron and produce the appropriate action, such as muscle contraction or gland secretion.
Flexor Muscles
The effectors of the salivary reflex are the salivary glands, which produce and release saliva in response to stimuli such as the sight, smell, or taste of food. The parasympathetic nervous system is primarily responsible for stimulating the salivary glands during this reflex.

Hormones have nothing to do in reflex arc.
reflex arc
A reflex arc is a neural pathway that controls a reflex action. It consists of a sensory neuron carrying the sensory input to the spinal cord, an interneuron within the spinal cord that processes the information, and a motor neuron that transmits the response to the effectors (muscles or glands). This allows for a rapid and automatic response to a stimulus without conscious thought.
Receptor → Sensory Neuron → Associative Neuron→ Motor division →Effectors
A sensory receptor is the type of neuron that begins a reflex arc.
