Receptors are structures at the ends of the nerve fibres that collect the information to be conducted by the nerves. These receptors may be specialised sense organs like the Meissner's corpuscles of the skin, specialised nerve endings like the Pacinian corpuscles of skin or the specialised organs, the sense organs.
The information collected by the receptors is conducted by the nerve fibres to the central nervous system. This in turn is conducted by the nerves to the effectors.
Effectors are muscles or glands which work in response to the stimulus received from the motor nerves.
