actually... no.. in this case (biologically),
from two senior science dot points:
P Responses of muscles and glands as effectors
Muscles and Glands either contract or secrete hormones/chemicals that are part of an effect or motor response from a signal given by an efferent neurone, or motor neurone.
They are known as effectors. Muscles react almost instantly to the effector neurone, but hormones must travel in the circulatory system after secretion from the gland, so their effect takes longer to reach target cell, but their eventual effect may be longer lasting.
P Reflect Arcs
Reflexes are actions that your body performs unconsciously and automatically.
A reflex arc is the nervous pathway along which the impulses travel for a reflex action.
Sensor ->
Sensory Neurone -> CNS (however only the spinal cord V an interneurone) -> Motor Neurone -> Effector.
