cribriform
Having many holes
Cribriform means perforated with small holes, like a sieve.
The term appears primarily in anatomy to describe bone or tissue with a porous, sieve-like structure: the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone, through which olfactory nerves pass from the nasal cavity to the brain.
