Stairs allow Dwarves and other creatures to travel up and down. Ramps most likely operate in the same fashion and so most advice here should apply to both.
Logs and stone(probably more, not fully tested) can not be transported on stairs, limiting their usefulness.
Constructing Stairs
In order for stairs to be usable, you must construct stairs on both levels you wish to connect (An up stair connecting to a down stair). However, a Down or Up stair will give you sufficient access to the adjacent level to build connecting stairs. This means you can dig directly downwards or even directly upwards using stairs without needing any other forms of access to the area.
Using an Up/Down stair (Which goes both up and down on the same tile) you can dig a straight vertical shaft.
Only upstairs can currently be removed through the designation menu but a new floor can be built over a downstairs to effectively remove them.
