The major difference is the direction of travel for nerve impulses. In the afferent nervous system, the impulses are traveling away from the brain - these tend to be motor impulses. In the efferent nervous system, the impulses are traveling towards the brain - these tend to be sensory impulses.

Difference between afferent and efferent in kidney?
Efferent means going away from and afferent is going toward. The afferent arteriole of the kidney carrys blood toward the glomerulus, whereas the efferent arteriole carrys blood away from the glomerulus.
What is the difference between afferent and efferent arteries?
Efferent arteries take blood away from an organ and afferent arteries bring blood to an organ.
What is the difference between the efferent and the efferent neurons?
they don't have a difference Unless you are talking about the direction of their signal. Afferent is taking information toward the central nervous system while efferent is taking information away from the central nervous system.
What is the difference between afferent and efferent nerve fibers?
Afferent refers to pathways leading to the cortex (ie, sensory). Efferent are pathways leading away (ie, motor). You are *affected* by a situation, you *effect* change on someone else.
What is the difference between afferent and efferent duct?
Afferent means going towards a center, in this case, a vessel going towards a lymph node. Efferent means going away from center, in this case, these are vessels associated with the thymus and spleen. A vessel can be both afferent and efferent if it leaves a peripheral lymph node (where it's efferent to the node) and connects to a greater node, where it becomes an afferent vessel as it enters the greater node or a lymphatic duct.
What vascular structure is found between the afferent and efferent arterioles?
peritubular capillaries
What Blood vessel located between afferent and efferent arterioles?
Glomerulus capillary
Functional difference between a motor and a relay neuron?
Motor neurons are the efferent neuron which carry impulses from CNS to muscles while relay neurons also known as Inter neurons connect both afferent and efferent neurons.
What type of neuron is also called an interneurn because it carries messages between the other two types of neurons Associative Afferent Efferent?
Efferent
What is a braun enteroenterostomy?
A surgical procedure in which a connection is created between the afferent and efferent limbs of small bowel in a patient that previously had a Billroth II procedure. It is performed to relieve afferent limb syndrome.
What is the difference between the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways?
in and out
Carries impulses between spinal cord and body parts?
CENTRAL
