Wood cells of comparatively large diameter that have open ends and are set one above the other to form continuous tubes The openings of the vessels on the surface of a piece of wood are referred to as pores
Small openings of tubes where the spores are developed, under the caps of certain mushrooms such as polypores and boletes
emphasis You can say that someone has a certain quality or emotion coming from every pore to emphasize the strength of that quality or emotion. She oozes sexuality from every pore. one of the small holes in your skin that liquid, especially sweat, can pass through, or a similar hole in the surface of a plant (porus, from poros ). pore over to read or look at something very carefully for a long time
A feature in the photosphere, 1 to 3 arc seconds in extent, usually not much darker than the dark spaces between photospheric granules It is distinguished from a sunspot by its short lifetime, 10 to 100 minutes
This is a void that goes from the bulk fluid to inside the biofilm in a more or less vertical orientation This term was used when first applying terminology to the biofilm structure, and has turned out not to be very useful The term was coined to imply the notion that the voids were allowing liquid, chemical, etc , exchange between the biofilm and the bulk fluid
poros = [Greek] small entrance Pores are like small sunspots but without a penumbra Pores get up to about 1500 miles (2500 km) in diameter and are less dark than sunspot umbrae The high-resolution continuum image shows some pores
part of ion channel which forms path ions use to move from one side of membrane to other Often lined with some hydrophilic amino acids Sometimes filled with water Pore lengths have been inferred for some ion channels by blocking the pore during conduction experiments using blocking agents with long spacer arms CFTR's pore is estimated to be around 5 8A at its narrowest point Narrow pores will necessitate removal of some or all of an ions hydration shell before allowing passage
