Animal biology and microbiology •
Sweat pore, an anatomical structure of the skin of humans (and other mammals) used for secretion of sweat •
Hair follicle, an anatomical structure of the skin of humans (and other mammals) used for secretion of
sebum • Canal pore, an anatomical structure that is part of the
lateral line sensory system of some aquatic organisms •
Gonopore, a genital pore present in some invertebrates, particularly insects •
Ozopore, the external discharge site of defensive glands in millipedes and some arachnids • An opening across both inner and outer bacterial membranes, a part of many
Gram-negative bacterial secretion systems • One of the openings communicating with the skin surface at the terminus of
lactiferous ducts in milk-producing mammals
Plant and fungal biology •
Germ pore, a small pore in the outer wall of a fungal spore through which the germ tube exits upon germination •
Stoma, a small opening on a plant leaf used for gas exchange • An anatomical feature of the
anther in some plant species, the opening through which pollen is released • A characteristic surface feature of
porate pollen • An opening in a poricidal fruit
