Yes; that [causing an Effect] is what they were designed to do.
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.
The effector in a neuron is the structure that carries out the response generated by the neuron in order to stimulate a target such as a muscle or gland. Effector neurons transmit signals from the central nervous system to these targets to produce a specific physiological response.
The neuron that links the coordinator (often the central nervous system) with the effector (such as a muscle or gland) is called a motor neuron. Motor neurons transmit signals from the spinal cord or brain to the muscles, triggering movement or action. They play a crucial role in executing responses to stimuli processed by the coordinator.
The axon terminals of a neuron are responsible for relaying signals from one neuron to another neuron or to an effector, such as a muscle or gland. When an action potential travels down the axon, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters at the axon terminals, which then stimulate the next neuron or target cell.
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.
The effector cell responds to a nerve impulse and can be either a muscle cell or a gland cell.
an effector
The pineal gland synthesizes melatonin.
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.
effector
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.
it transmits a signal through the the central nervous system ( CNS ) until it reaches a salivary gland (effector) :)
The muscle fiber or gland cell that responds to efferent impulses is known as the effector. Effector cells receive signals from motor neurons and carry out the response, such as contracting or secreting a substance. This is part of the efferent pathway in the nervous system that controls the body's actions and functions.
The effector in a neuron is the structure that carries out the response generated by the neuron in order to stimulate a target such as a muscle or gland. Effector neurons transmit signals from the central nervous system to these targets to produce a specific physiological response.
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...
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.
