Generally a volcano will eject lava from the top of the familiar conical shape but many have smaller vents on the side which appear via cracks or fissures called 'dykes' which blow lava out sideways and form what are called 'parasitic cones' on the side of the main conical form of the volcano.

a crater is the opening at the top of a volcano. Vents are the openings that sometimes come at the sides of the volcano because there may be alot of magma in the volcano and it needs to come out somehow. so it sort of pressurizes the side of the volcano until it breaks through to make an opening. the opening is called a vent.
