Stoma Paradox
As the key reactant in photosynthesis, carbon dioxide, is found in the atmosphere, most plants require the stoma to be open during daytime.

The Stomach
(Ventriculus; Gaster)
The stomach is the most dilated part of the digestive tube, and is situated between the end of the esophagus and the beginning of the small intestine.
Stomata reveal past carbon dioxide levels
Because CO2 levels and stomatal index are inversely related, could fossil leaves tell us about past levels of CO2 in the atmosphere? Yes.
stomata -- Openings in the epidermis of a stem or leaf of a plant which permit gas exchange with the air. In general, all plants except liverworts have stomata in their sporophyte stage.

stoma (plural: stomata). Natural opening in a leaf surface that serves for gas exchange and water evaporation and has the ability to open and close in response to environmental conditions.
stoma (pl. stomata)

The Stomach (or Churn, Churn, Churn)
During a meal, the stomach gradually fills to a capacity of 1 liter, from an empty capacity of 50-100 milliliters. At a price of discomfort, the stomach can distend to hold 2 liters or more.
Stomata (singular stoma) are microscopic openings on the undersurface of leaves that allow gas exchange and water evaporation from inside the leaf. Because dehydration can be a serious problem, the stomata close when the plant is under water stress.
stomach The expansion of the alimentary canal between the esophagus and duodenum.
stomates The small openings in leaves, herbaceous stems, and fruits through which gases and water vapor pass.

As that hotdog bite falls into the stomach, a round muscle called a sphincter closes behind it. This protects the esophagus from having food or other chemicals splash back into it.

Barry Marshall and Robin Warren of Australia discovered bacteria in the stomach lining of patients with chronic gastritis and peptic ulcers.
Microscopic pores known as stomata are the only breaches in the otherwise continuous layer of the leaf epidermis. Each individual pore, or stoma, is, in fact, a small opening between a pair of specialized cells known as guard cells.
When you eat, food travels into your stomach, and digestion begins. You don't need your stomach working if you aren't eating.
