ducts
Tubes for flow
Ducts are tubes or channels that convey something from one place to another.
Air ducts carry heated or cooled air through buildings.
Tear ducts drain fluid from the eyes.
In anatomy, ducts transport secretions: bile duct, milk duct.
To duct is to channel through such passages, though the verb is uncommon outside technical contexts.
