The lymph nodes are the only lymphatic organ with afferent vessels. Afferent vessels carry lymph fluid into the lymph nodes, where it is filtered and processed before being returned to circulation through efferent vessels.
Afferent ducts carry fluid toward a particular organ or location, while efferent ducts carry fluid away from an organ or location. In the context of the male reproductive system, the afferent ducts transport sperm from the testes to the epididymis for storage and maturation, while the efferent ducts carry sperm from the epididymis to the vas deferens for ejaculation.
Afferent vessels lead toward an organ.
An efferent neuron carries impulses away from the central nervous system, toward the effectors such as muscles or glands.
In a three neuron reflex arc, the afferent neurons synapse with interneurons in the spinal cord or brainstem. The interneurons then synapse with efferent neurons which transmit the signal to the effector organ to initiate a response.
Efferent arteries take blood away from an organ and afferent arteries bring blood to an organ.

a sense organ
The soft spongy cone-shaped organ located in the thoracic cavity is the lung. The lungs are responsible for the exchange of gases, oxygen and carbon dioxide, with the surrounding blood vessels in order to facilitate respiration.
An axon of an efferent neuron could synapse with a muscle fiber, gland, or another neuron in the peripheral nervous system.
The organ that is shaped like a triangle is the LIVER.
During a reflex arc, sensory receptors detect a stimulus and send a signal through a sensory neuron to the spinal cord. In the spinal cord, the signal is processed and a response is generated quickly through a motor neuron to the effector organ, causing a reflex action (such as pulling your hand away from a hot object) without involving the brain.
The brain is the most important and central organ of the entire nervous system. It receives sensory input (afferent feedback) from the rest of the nervous system, processes information, and produces efferent signals and responses to the rest of the nervous system. Analogous to a computer system, the brain would be the central processing unit.
