AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -There are two types of effectors, the muscles (also called “motor effectors") and exocrine glands (also called “secretory efectors").

Detailed explanation-2: -There are many such glands, like: sweat, lacrimal (tear), salivary, and adrenal glands (the ones right next to the kidneys).

Detailed explanation-3: -Based on the sensory input and integration, the nervous system responds by sending signals to muscles, causing them to contract, or to glands, causing them to produce secretions. Muscles and glands are called effectors because they cause an effect in response to directions from the nervous system.

Detailed explanation-4: -Effectors include muscles and glands, and so responses can include muscle contractions or hormone release.

Detailed explanation-5: -An effector is a part of the body which can respond to a stimulus according to the instructions sent from the nervous system (spinal cord and brain). Example: Glands and muscles.
