Firewall Inbound and Outbound

Hi,
 
I have mcafee firewall installed. Can someone please explain the outbound and inbound to me. Sometimes when I download programs it ask to grant inbound or outbound access. I would think inbound would allow someone access to your pc.. and outbound allows them to retrieve info?? I noticed some programs do not work if one or the other access is not granted. I guess what I'm asking is what should be allowed and what shouldn't be allowed, and which access?
 
Hope this makes sense .. lol.
