What's the difference between excurrent and incurrent?
Excurrent
Definition:
(a.) Running or flowing out
(a.) Running or extending out; as, an excurrent midrib, one which projects beyond the apex of a leaf; an excurrent steam or trunk, one which continues to the top.
(a.) Characterized by a current which flows outward; as, an excurrent orifice or tube.
Example Sentences:

(11) Based on radioimmunoassay data and fluid flow rates for the ram, it was concluded that almost all of the 328 pmol inhibin that enters the ductuli efferentes daily is endocytosed in the proximal parts of the excurrent duct system.
(12) The longevity of spermatozoa in the excurrent ducts was attributed to minimal trauma and damage to the ducts and their vascular and nvere supplies using this new technic.
(13) The objective of this research were twofold: 1) to determine if decreased spermatozoal longevity, a previously reported heritable trait in chickens, was attributable to spermatozoal passage through the excurrent ducts, and 2) to document the morphology of the testicular excurrent ducts from affected roosters.
(14) These differences in histological structure of the hopping mouse excurrent ducts presumably reflect divergence in function of the various regions of the tract.
(15) Epididymal ducts displayed rather drastic atrophic changes, indicating that prolonged immunization may result in irreversible damage to the excurrent ducts and could, therefore, adversely affect the restoration of fertility even after the return of testicular function following decline in the immune response against LHRH.
(16) The physiological role(s) for inhibin, or inhibin-like peptides, in the excurrent duct system remains speculative.
(17) This variation in morphology of the female reproductive tract appears to complement that of the excurrent ducts, accessory sex glands and external genitalia of males of these species of Australian murid rodents.
(18) It would appear that all the effects of removal of a portion of the epididymis cannot be explained by blockage of the excurrent ducts, and a specific endocrine effect of the epididymis on the testis is proposed.
(19) Cellular proliferation was examined in the various regions of the excurrent ducts of the reproductive system of the male golden hamster after colchicine administration.
(20) The evaluation of testicular and excurrent duct tissues via immunofluorescence failed to reveal either IgY or IgA associated with spermatozoa.
Incurrent
Definition:
(a.) Characterized by a current which flows inward; as, the incurrent orifice of lamellibranch Mollusca.
Example Sentences:
(1) The additional demands of technique incurrent in the insertion of the intraocular pupillary lens render the operation still more difficult and increase the risks.
(2) Responsibility accounting, which relates the costs to the functions that authorize their incurrence, is presented as a technique that aids the unit's manager in controlling costs.
(3) The prognosis of valvular heart disease is favorably influenced by surgical treatment in spite of the possible incurrence of early or late postoperative complications.
(4) Regardless of the factor assumed responsible for precipitation of myocardial ischemia - varying from coronary occlusion in acute myocardial infarction to increased oxygen demand in exertional angina pectoris and reduced myocardial oxygen supply due to plaque rupture or changes in vasomotor tone in unstable angina - its incurrence may or may not be associated with pain.
(5) In the 2 lethal cases autopsy offered a prostatic cancer with vertebral and intraspinal metastases respectively syringobulbia and cervical syringomyelia beside an ependymoma of the cervical spinal cord as incurrable complaints.
(6) An inherent problem with any long-term treatment with nitrates is the incurrence of tolerance.
(7) The time-course of the concentration change within the olfactory sac was inferred from conductivity measurements at the incurrent and excurrent nostrils.
(8) Sustainability Although entirely laudable, I still worry in practical terms about the commitment to delivering the Zero Carbon Homes standard to all new homes from 2016, and how this as this currently risks the incurrence of significant additional costs without any assurance that the theoretical benefits will be achieved.
(9) that cause bacillary necrosis in larval and juvenile bivalve mollusks were injected into the heart, siphon tissue, and the incurrent and excurrent siphon lumina of soft-shell clams.
(10) Respiratory and pumping rates in the hard clam Mercenaria mercenaria were measured directly in running seawater; the quiatntity of oxygen used was calculated from the difference in concentrations in incurrent and excurrent water.
(11) Annular ring dilatation and chordae tendineae rupture appear to contribute substantially to incurrence of the mitral regurgitation.
