What are spoilers in boeing?How diffrent are they from ailerons?

ailerons on opposite wings move in simultaneous different directions ie one up and the other down to effect the amount of lift in a wing. The one going down increases lift - the one going up lowers lift so the plane tends to roll. The spoilers deploy and disrupt airflow causing drag and are used for slowing down the plane
