An edge loop is a continuous ring of edges. In Maya double-clicking on an edge will expand the selection to an edge loop. (if possible)

Edge flow refers to the modeling practice of ensuring that edges follow the curvature and features of the model.

Edge flow is very important when modeling organic objects that will be animated or deformed such as a face. In this scenario the edges should follow the major muscles around the eyes and mouth etc.
