transude
Pass through pores
Transude means to pass or ooze gradually through a membrane or porous surface.
The term applies particularly to fluids that seep through tissue walls without rupturing them, as when moisture transudes through skin or when plasma transudes through capillary walls.
Unlike bleeding or secretion, transudation suggests slow, passive movement driven by pressure differences rather than active biological processes.
Sweat transudes through the pores.
