The electrons flow through the external circuit. The electrons flow alphabetically. From Anode to Cathode A→C. You can also specify it by the type of reaction. They flow from Oxidstion to Reduction. Again alphabetical. O→R.

The oxidstion is the reaction that occurs at the anode (both words start with vowels) and the Reduction occurrs at the cathode (both consonants).

The ions flow through the solutions. The anion (negative) flows to the anode and the cation(positive) flows to the cathode.
