An efferent impulse is a biochemical and electrical impulse that travels via nerve fibers away from the central nervous system. The central nervous system is a term for the brain and spinal cord.
Detailed explanation-2: -The two examples of effectors are muscle and glands. Muscle and glands are the effector organs that receive the impulse from the brain and spinal cord through the motor neurons to take an action on the stimuli received from the surrounding.
Detailed explanation-3: -Effectors include muscles and glands-that produce a specific response to a detected stimulus.
