The quality of being cribrose; the state of having a sieve-like or perforated structure.
From 'cribrose' + '-ity' (quality or state). Like 'cribriformity,' this noun abstracts the adjective into a measurable quality describing degree of sieve-like structure.
Cribrosity is how biologists quantify how sieve-like something is—it's a formal way to describe something that looks like it's been riddled with holes, like certain minerals and bone structures!
