Whats the difference in 10 year bonds and notes?

Whats the difference in a 10 year t-bond and a 10 year t-note. both pay interest every 6 months. Is it on how they are bid? Thanks.
 
The "bond" may have been issued long before the note and now, both securities may have the same amount of time remaining before redemption.
 
t-bills short term i believe upto two years
t-notes upto ten years
t-bonds ten years and longer

sometimes used interchangeably
