My laptop's cooling fan is pretty much identical to this:
As detailed in the question, I would like to know what the grills on the side of the fan, which enable hot air flow out of the laptop, are called. Is it called ventilator or something (on the whole)?
And what's heat sink?

The copper square is the heat sink base. The copper tube is a heat pipe. The black metal sheets are fins. The whole thing, including the fan, is the heat sink.
