The action of pulling your hand back after touching a stinging jellyfish represents the "effector mechanism." This mechanism involves the muscles and actions that result from the nervous system's response to stimuli. In this case, the reflex action to withdraw your hand from the jellyfish sting is an example of how the effector mechanisms (muscles) respond to sensory input.
