afferent vessel

From efferent vessels the blood goes into afferent vessel, where is gets an oxygen.

On approaching the pneumostome it forms several branches, and the latter, with their accompanying afferent vessels, are fairly well indicated.

Surgical resection, partial hepatectomy, and embolization of afferent vessels should be considered for severe cases.

Afferent vessels can refer to:

Their afferent vessels drain the occipital region of the scalp, while their efferents pass to the superior deep cervical glands.

In their outward course they give off lateral branches; these are the afferent vessels for the renal corpuscles; they enter the capsule, and end in the glomerulus.

Their afferent vessels drain the eyelids, the conjunctiva, and the skin and mucous membrane of the nose and cheek; their efferents pass to the submaxillary glands.

Their afferent vessels drain the root of the nose, the eyelids, the frontotemporal region, the external acoustic meatus and the tympanic cavity, possibly also the posterior parts of the palate and the floor of the nasal cavity.

From each tuft the corresponding efferent vessel arises, and, having made its egress from the capsule near to the point where the afferent vessel enters, breaks up into a number of branches, which form a dense plexus within Bowman's capsule.
