Afference refers to the process of receiving sensory information or neural inputs by the nervous system.

Snozzberry is a word popularized by the author Roald Dahl in his book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. For many years, it was assumed to be a fictional fruit or a nonsense word used to represent a fruit. However, in 1979, it was revealed in Dahls adult novel My Uncle Oswald that snozzberry has a different meaning. In this context, it is used to refer to a part of the human anatomy, specifically a penis. Therefore, the word snozzberry can have two meanings depending on the context in which it is used.

A pipette (sometimes spelled as pipett) is a laboratory tool commonly used in chemistry, biology and medicine to transport a measured volume of liquid, often as a media dispenser. Pipettes come in several designs for various purposes with differing levels of accuracy and precision, from single piece glass pipettes to more complex adjustable or electronic pipettes. Many pipette types work by creating a partial vacuum above the liquid-holding chamber and selectively releasing this vacuum to draw up and dispense liquid. Measurement accuracy varies greatly depending on the instrument.
