A fenestra (fenestration; pl.: fenestrae or fenestrations) is any small opening or pore, commonly used as a term in the biological sciences. [1] It is the Latin word for "window", and is used in various fields to describe a pore in an anatomical structure.
Fenestration or fenestrate may refer to: . Fenestration (architecture), relating to openings in a building Fenestra, in anatomy, medicine, and biology, any small opening in an anatomical structure
There are four types of amniote skull, classified by the number and location of their temporal fenestrae. Though historically important for understanding amniote evolution, some of these configurations have little relevance to modern phylogenetic taxonomy.
Unlike those of other capillaries with fenestrations, these fenestrations are not spanned by diaphragms. [4] They allow for the filtration of fluid, blood plasma solutes and protein, while at the same time preventing the filtration of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Perforation seen in Monstera deliciosa. Perforate leaves, sometimes called fenestrate, occur naturally in some species of plants.Holes develop as a leaf grows. The size, shape, and quantity of holes in each leaf can vary greatly depending on the species and can even vary greatly within a given
The glomerular basement membrane of the kidney is the basal lamina layer of the glomerulus.The glomerular endothelial cells, the glomerular basement membrane, and the filtration slits between the podocytes perform the filtration function of the glomerulus, separating the blood in the capillaries from the filtrate that forms in Bowman's capsule.

Diapsids ("two arches") are a clade of sauropsids, distinguished from more primitive eureptiles by the presence of two holes, known as temporal fenestrae, in each side of their skulls.
A flowering Fenestraria rhopalophylla, so named due to the translucent leaf window on the tips of its modified leaf.. Leaf window, also known as epidermal window, [1] and fenestration, [2] [3] is a specialized leaf structure consisting of a translucent area through which light can enter the interior surfaces of the leaf where photosynthesis can occur.
