Any organ, cell, or organelle that moves the organism through the environment or else alters the environment to the organism's advantage. Examples include muscle, bone, and a wide variety of exocrine glands.
a nerve fiber that terminates on a muscle or gland and stimulates contraction or secretion
an organ (a gland or muscle) that becomes active in response to nerve impulses
an arrangement of contractile or secretary cells that either moves or secretes a product in response to activity in its afferent nerve
a representation of a mobile physical input device, such as our wireless gamepad with a tracking sensor attached
A peripheral organ that receives nerve impulses and reacts by movement (muscle) or secretion (gland).
e-FEK-ter A muscle or gland that receives input from a neuron. 611
An organ, gland, or muscle which is capable of being activated by nerve endings.
In a closed system, the element that initiates an action in response to a signal from a sensor. In human systems, a muscle or gland often serves as an effector.
An effector is a cell or organ that produces a physiological response when stimulated by a nerve impulse. Examples of effectors include muscles and glands.
Tissue or organ that carries out a final action, e.g. muscle in case of movement or gland in case of secretion.
organ which has an effect when stimulated (eg muscles or glands) Humans as organisms
