In the nervous system the system of membrane channels is called the neuroreceptors. Neurotransmitters use the neuroreceptors as binding sites.
Protein channels
its the cell membrane - not to be confused with the cell wall
Ion channels that are always open are called leak channels. They allow a continuous flow of ions across the cell membrane, helping to maintain the resting membrane potential of the cell.
Passages that permit a cell membrane to be permeable as needed are called ion channels. These channels allow ions such as sodium, potassium, and calcium to flow in and out of the cell, regulating the cell's electrical and chemical properties.
Facilitated diffusion requires the presence of membrane channels or transporters to move molecules across the membrane. Osmosis, on the other hand, does not require membrane channels as it involves the passive movement of water molecules through the lipid bilayer of the membrane.

Depends on what the pore does. If they are channels - they are called Channels. Voltage gated / ligand activated channels. If they are to communicate with neighbouring cells - they are called gap junctions.
the endoplasmic reticulum
Cisternae
Channels in the cell membrane serve as passageways for the selective transport of ions and molecules into and out of the cell. They help maintain the cell's internal environment by controlling the flow of substances across the membrane.

Simply stated: ProteinsChannels within the structure of the cell membrane are composed of proteins. A protein that forms an ion channel through a membrane is called a transmembrane protein.
