So the sink doesn't overflow. Once the water level reaches that high, it will go down that hole and not all over the floor. It's idiotproof.

That is to prevent the sink from overflowing. It also helps the sink drain faster.

That is for an auxilary drain just in case you turn on the faucet and walk away or a leak starts and you wont overflow all over the floor. Dont block this drain,,,,it is very important in case of a boo- boo.

It is an overflow. Has nothing to do with venting the fixture, as the drain has it's own vent pipe. The sink is "double-walled and allows the over abundance of water to flow "inside" the sink walls and go to the drainline.

I think you're talking about the one nearest your body when you stand at the sink. It's an overflow channel, designed to avoid a spill-over

It's an overflow, to keep water from overfilling the sink and running out all over your countertop

It has two purposes...
(1) it lets the water go down the drain smoothly
(2) it doubles as over flow valve for when the water is left on

It works as both an overflow and as a vent to allow air out of the pipe being filled with water.
