air vent
Wall breathing slot
An air vent is an opening that allows air to pass into or out of an enclosed space.
Vents appear in walls, ceilings, vehicles, and appliances to provide ventilation or regulate temperature: The air vent above the stove removes cooking odors.
In cars, air vents direct heated or cooled air toward passengers.
