Állatpórusokra

Állatpórusokra refers to the pores found on animals. These structures serve a variety of crucial functions across the animal kingdom, depending on the species and its environment. In some aquatic invertebrates, such as sponges, porocytes are specialized cells that form pores allowing water to flow into the organism. This water carries food particles and oxygen, and waste products are expelled through these same pathways.

In other animals, pores can be associated with glands, facilitating the release of secretions. For instance, sweat glands in mammals produce pores on the skin to release sweat, a process vital for thermoregulation. Similarly, venom glands in some reptiles and insects excrete toxins through specialized pores. The skin of amphibians also features pores that can be involved in gas exchange and water absorption. Even in more complex organisms, epidermal pores can play roles in sensory perception or in the expulsion of waste, though these are often less prominent than in simpler life forms. The presence, size, and function of animal pores are highly adapted to the specific needs of each species.
