The effectors in this homeostatic reflex are the heart, blood vessels and kidneys. The heart rate is slowed, blood vessel walls are relaxed and the kidneys increase urinary salt to regulate blood volume and pressure in response to the salt-rich meal. The brainstem and hormonal and neural signaling are part of the reflex, but not the effectors.
