Also called stomate Example sentencesExamples - Leaf stomata control plant CO 2 absorption through photosynthesis and water loss through transpiration.
- However, the presence of both adaxial and abaxial stomata on leaves of T. pusillum var. texanum did differentiate it from other taxa in this species complex.
- The leaf pores, also called stomata, open to allow in carbon dioxide, which plants need for photosynthesis.
- The outer layer of the abaxial epidermis contains sunken stomata with strongly fluorescing chloroplasts in the guard cells.
- Until it is possible to be sure that the readings taken are not being influenced by fluctuations in the width of open stomata while the leaf is in the experimental cuvette, statistics on oxygen concentrations cannot be performed reliably.
Synonyms opening, orifice, aperture, hole, outlet, inlet, vent - 1.1Zoology A small opening like a mouth in some lower animals.
Example sentencesExamples - Note the characteristic long and straight stoma of Rhabditidae, the well-developed teeth at the base of a short stoma of Diplogastridae, the well-sclerotized stoma lining in Panagrolaimidae and the stoma lining divided in several elements of Cephalobidae.
2Medicine
An artificial opening made into a hollow organ, especially one on the surface of the body leading to the gut or trachea. Example sentencesExamples - An ileostomy with two openings includes an open stoma for effluent and another stoma for a mucous fistula.

- Previously it has been due to cancer, however, this time it was because I had developed a very large hernia, which was causing great problems underneath my stoma (the opening created to replace my bowels).
- A single lesion involving a tracheotomy stoma was treated with the direct application of the probe without using the bronchoscope.
- One may speculate that the differences in rates of bleeding and infection can be explained by differences in the tracheostomy stoma following these two techniques.
