What's the difference between adhesion and cohere?

Adhesion


Definition:

  • (n.) The action of sticking; the state of being attached; intimate union; as, the adhesion of glue, or of parts united by growth, cement, or the like.
  • (n.) Adherence; steady or firm attachment; fidelity; as, adhesion to error, to a policy.
  • (n.) Agreement to adhere; concurrence; assent.
  • (n.) The molecular attraction exerted between bodies in contact. See Cohesion.
  • (n.) Union of surface, normally separate, by the formation of new tissue resulting from an inflammatory process.
  • (n.) The union of parts which are separate in other plants, or in younger states of the same plant.

  • (20) P-selectin (CD62) is a rapidly inducible cell surface adhesion molecule that is expressed on platelets and endothelial cells and mediates their interaction with leukocytes.

Cohere


Definition:

  • (a.) To stick together; to cleave; to be united; to hold fast, as parts of the same mass.
  • (a.) To be united or connected together in subordination to one purpose; to follow naturally and logically, as the parts of a discourse, or as arguments in a train of reasoning; to be logically consistent.
  • (a.) To suit; to agree; to fit.
