Effector Cells and Organs
Those cells and organs that carry out the instructions of the nervous system are the glands and muscles of the body. It seems almost too simple that everything is done by two types of cells and organs! ...
effector cells.
B cells that have differentiated into antibody-secreting plasma cells.
T cells that have differentiated into ...
[edit] Activation of effector cells
To combat pathogens that replicate outside cells, antibodies bind to pathogens to link them together, causing them to agglutinate.
endogenous signaling molecules that alter the behaviour of neurons or effector cells.
a highly specialized junction between two neurons, or between a neuron and an effector cell (e.g., muscle or gland cell), at which electrical and/or chemical signals are passed from one cell to another.
motor neurons Neurons that receive signals from interneurons and transfer the signals to effector cells that produce a response. Nerve cells connected to a muscle or gland. Sometimes also known as effector neurons.
The locus where one neuron communicates with another neuron in a neural pathway; a narrow gap between a synaptic terminal of an axon and a signal-receiving portion (dendrite or cell body) of another neuron or effector cell.
could also be modificated for delivery of a toxin, radioisotope, cytokine or other active conjugate; it is also possible to design bispecific antibodies that can bind with their Fab regions both to target antigen and to a conjugate or effector cell.
the synaptic cleft when a nerve impulse arrives; may stimulate or inhibit the next neuron. The chemical that crosses the synaptic cleft and causes the transmission of the nerve message in an adjacent neuron or the stimulation of an effector cell ...
