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 is the Correct order of filtrate flow through the nephron?
Nephron is the functional unit of the kidney. Located in pyramids of medulla (triangular sections of the kidney). Nephron contains renal corpuscles (Glomerular capusule aka: Bowmans Capsule) which contain renal tubules (Glomerulus-filtrates blood as is flows through kidney, afferent/efferent). Waste by way of loop of Henle (exits capsule), go to collecting ducts. Kidney-renal corpuscles-afferent arteriole-bowmans capsule-glomerulus-efferent arteriole-proximal convoluted tubule-descending loop of henle-thin segment-acscending loop of henle-distal convoluted tubule-collecting ducts-major calyces-renal pelvis-uretER-urinary bladder-urethra (female 4cm long- con't from urethra-out) (male 20cm long-urethra made up of three parts-con't from urethra-prostatic urethra-membranous urethra-penile urethra-out) I believe that is correct. What confused me is the afferent/efferent/tubules. They are three separate passage ways. Aff/Eff is for blood. Afferent is where blood enters-waste goes to capsule-waste leaves capsule by 1st entering proximal tubule of loop of henle-blood that was "not" waste goes back to the body by way of efferent. Notice the difference in female and male.
The fusion of the hepatic duct and the cystic duct forms the?
common bile duct
The common bile duct is formed by the connection of what two ducts?
The common bile duct is formed by the joining of the common hepatic duct (from the liver) and the cystic duct (from the gallbladder).
What other name is the parotid duct known as?
Stenson's duct
What is attached to the hepatic duct?
Hepatic duct is attached with liver. The union of hepatic duct and cystic duct forms common bile duct.
What is the correct sequence of blood vessels flowing through a body tissue?
renal artery - peritubular network - afferent arteriole - efferent arteriole - renal vein
What is the difference between nationalism and imperialism?
Duct tape.
What is the difference between gaffer tape and duct tape?
Duct tape is made out of plastic, gaffer tape is made out of cloth.
Air temperature difference inside the duct?
The air temperature difference inside a duct refers to the variation in temperature between the air entering the duct and the air exiting the duct. This temperature difference is influenced by factors such as the heat gained or lost through the duct walls, the efficiency of the HVAC system, and any insulation present in the ductwork. Monitoring and optimizing this temperature difference is important for ensuring effective heating or cooling of the space.
What is the difference between sweat duct and sweat gland?
sweat glands :are small tubular structures of the skin that produce sweat. sweat duct :a small duct that conveys sweat from a sudoriferous gland to the surface of the skin.
What is the difference between scrotum and sperm duct?
The scrotum is the outer fleshy sack that holds the testicles. The sperm duct (vas deferens) runs from the testicles and is inside the scrotum.
What is the difference between tuck tape and duct tape?
Tuck tape is much stronger and has better adhesive.

What normally contains blood Bowman's capsule vasa recta loop of Henle collecting duct or proximal tubule?
The vasa recta. It is the main capillary that collects the filtered blood from the afferent tubule.
What is pathway for sperm from testis to urethra?
Semineferous tubules, straight tubules, rete testes, efferent ducts, ductus deferens (vas deferens), ejaculatory duct, prostatis urethra, membranous urethra, spongy urethra, external urethral orifice.Testes (Testis) -> Epididymis -> Vas Deferens -> Urethra.
Difference between pipe and duct?
"Pipe" usually implies high pressure, gas or liquid. "Duct" implies low pressure, usually air. Pipes are generally round and made in standard sizes. Ducts can be any shape, any size.
What is the function of cystic ducts?
The cystic duct lies between the gallbladder and the common bile duct. Its' function is to transport bile from the gall bladder to the common bile duct.
