Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An effector is a part of the body that responds when the receptor cells send out signals to the central nervous system. The responses made by the effectors, such as the contraction of a muscle or the release of a particular hormone, are made as a result of the stimulation received by the receptor cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -The main types of effectors are the activators and the inhibitors. Examples of effectors are as follows: (1) allosteric effectors, (2) bacterial effectors, and (3) fungal effectors (e.g. apoplastic effectors and cytoplasmic effectors).

Detailed explanation-3: -Muscle is an example of an effector.

Detailed explanation-4: -An effector is a part of the body that creates a response from the brain and receptors throughout the body. Examples of effectors are when a muscle contracts to move the leg, a muscle squeezes saliva from the gland, and a gland secretes a hormone into the bloodstream.
