Efferent arteries take blood away from an organ and afferent arteries bring blood to an organ.
Elatic recoil.
When people use the word vessel in relation to the cardiovascular system, they usually are referring to blood vessels like arteries, veins, or capillaries. Coronary arteries are specific blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood to the muscles (myocardium) of the heart.
anatomic end arteries are vessels whose terminal branches donot anastomose with branches of arteries supplying adjacent areas . Functional end arteries are vessels whose terminal branches do anastomose with those of adjacent arteries , but the caliber of anastomoses is insufficient to keep the tissue alive should one of the arteries become occluded .
Elastic (conducting) arteries are the large arteries close to the heart that expand during systole, acting as pressure reservoirs, and then recoil during diastole to keep blood moving. Muscular (distributing) arteries carry blood to specific organs; they are less stretchy and more active in vasoconstriction. Arterioles regulate blood flow into capillary beds.
Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the wall of arteries and veins. Heart rate is the BPM or beats per minute.
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.
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.
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.
The vascular structure found between the afferent and efferent arterioles in the kidney is the glomerulus, where filtration of blood takes place.
Afferent ducts carry fluid toward a particular organ or location, while efferent ducts carry fluid away from an organ or location. In the context of the male reproductive system, the afferent ducts transport sperm from the testes to the epididymis for storage and maturation, while the efferent ducts carry sperm from the epididymis to the vas deferens for ejaculation.
Glomerulus capillary
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.
The type of neuron that is also known as an interneuron is the associative neuron. Interneurons are responsible for transmitting signals between sensory neurons (afferent neurons) and motor neurons (efferent neurons) in the central nervous system.
The interneuron acts as a connector between afferent and efferent neurons in the central nervous system. It integrates and processes incoming sensory information before transmitting signals to the efferent neuron to produce a response.
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.
CENTRAL
Thee difference between muscle in veins and arteries is that muscles of arteries are thicker compared to those of veins.
