| efferent | Moving or carrying outward or away from a central part. Refers to vessels, nerves, etc. For example: blood vessels carrying blood away from the heart or nerves carrying signals from the brain. Compare: afferent. (09 Oct 1997) |
| efferent duct | One of 12 to 14 small seminal ducts leading from the testis to the head of the epididymis. Synonym: ductulus efferens testis, vas efferens, efferent duct. (05 Mar 2000) |
| efferent ductules of testis | One of 12 to 14 small seminal ducts leading from the testis to the head of the epididymis. Synonym: ductulus efferens testis, vas efferens, efferent duct. (05 Mar 2000) |
| efferent fibres | Those fibres conveying impulses to effector tissues (muscle: smooth, cardiac or striated; or glands) in the periphery; those fibres exiting a specific cell group (i.e., efferent fibres of the basilar pons), used in reference to a cell group. (05 Mar 2000) |
| efferent glomerular arteriole | The vessel that carries blood from the glomerular capillary network to the capillary bed of the proximal convoluted tubule; collectively, these vessels constitute the renal portal system. Synonym: arteriola glomerularis efferens, vas efferens, efferent vessel. (05 Mar 2000) |
| efferent lymphatic | A vein carrying blood away from a part. Synonym: efferent lymphatic. Synonym: efferent glomerular arteriole. Synonym: efferent ductules of testis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| efferent nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A nerve which transmits impulses from the brain and spinal cord to a muscle or organ. (27 Sep 1997) |
| efferent pathways | Nerve structures through which impulses are conducted from a nerve centre toward a peripheral site. (12 Dec 1998) |
| efferent vessel | A vessel carrying blood away from the heart. An artery or arteriole. (12 Dec 1998) |
