| afferent vessel | A vessel carrying blood toward the heart. A vein or venule. (12 Dec 1998) |
| general somatic afferent column | In the embryo, a column of gray matter in the hindbrain and spinal cord, represented in the adult by the sensory nuclei of the trigeminal nerve and relay cells in the dorsal horn. (05 Mar 2000) |
| general visceral afferent column | A column of gray matter in the hindbrain and spinal cord of the embryo, developing into the nucleus of the solitary tract and relay cells of the spinal cord. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vessel, afferent | A vessel carrying blood toward the heart. A vein or venule. Afferent hails from the latin ad meaning toward + ferre, to bear. The opposite of an afferent vessel is an efferent vessel, an artery or arteriole. (12 Dec 1998) |
