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.

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.

∙ 16y agoAfferent 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.

∙ 14y agoAfferent takes blood to the kidneys and efferent takes blood from the kidneys. Think of efferent as exit.

What organ is bean shaped and has efferent and afferent vessels?
The kidneys are bean shaped or beans are kidney shaped...
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.
Difference between frontal and sagittal section of kidney?
"Frontal" refers to the front portion of the kidney or any structure, sagittal refers to an imaginary plane through the middle of the body, dividing into equal left and right portions. So to take a sagittal section of the kidney is not usually possible as there is one on each side in humans and they are not near the midline.
What is the difference between the abdomen and the stomach?
The difference between the abdomen and the stomach is: The abdomen contains all of the parts between the chest and pelvic region. The stomach is an organ of digestion. It has a saclike shape and is located between the esophagus and the intestines. Almost every animal has a stomach. abdomen -> contains the stomach, small intestine, colon, rectum, liver, spleen, pancreas, kidney, appendix, gallbladder and bladder.
The ------ is found between the kidney and the urinary bladder?
ureter

The kidneys are bean shaped or beans are kidney shaped...
How does blood travel through the kidney?
Blood enters the kidney through the Renal artery.
Name 2 blood vessels which enters and leave the kidney?
Afferent - go into the glomerulus and efferent - go out of glomerulus
Trace blood supply through the kidney?
***CORRECT ANSWER***Renal Arteries--> Segmental Arteries--> Lobar Arteries--> Interlobar Arteries--> Arcuate Arteries--> Cortical Radiate Arteries--> Afferent Arterioles--> Glomeruli--> Efferent Arterioles--> Peritubular Capillaries--> Cortical Radiate Veins--> Arcuate Veins--> Interlobar Veins--> Renal Vein.
What is the structure that drains blood from the glomerulus in the kidney?
The efferent arteriole.
In the kidney what structure that delivers blood to the glomerulus?
The afferent arteriole.

Is there any difference between kidney disease and kidney failure?
Kidney disease can lead to kidney failure.
Which is the correct path of filtered blood through the kidney?
From the renal corpuscle (first the afferent arteriole feeds the glomerulus, which is then drained by the efferent arteriole) and passes on to the renal tubules (passes into the proximal convoluted tube, into the descending and ascending loops of Henle, and the distal convoluted tube)
What is the Blood supply that directly receives substances from the tubular cells in urinary system?
You have portal system of blood circulation in case of kidney tubules. In portal system, you have afferent arterioles, divided to form primary capillaries and capillaries reunite to form efferent arterioles. The efferent arterioles again divide to form the secondary capillaries. So you have secondary capillaries, there in urinary system, to receive the substances, directly from tubular cells.
What tube carries blood away from the kidney?
The kidney receives blood through two renal arteries. One artery supplies blood to left kidney while the other supplies blood to the right kidney. Within the kidney, each artery branches out into arterioles and finally the afferent arterioles.
What is the pathway of tha blood from renal artery to the renal vein?
renal artery, segmental arteries, interlobar arteries, arcuate arteries, cortical radiate arteries, afferent arterioles, glomerulus, efferent arteriole, peritubular capillaries, venules, interlobar veins, arcuate veins, interlobar veins, renal vein.
