A stoma is an opening that allows substances to flow in and out of a system. In plants, it primarily facilitates the exchange of gases, allowing carbon dioxide to enter for photosynthesis and oxygen to exit as a byproduct. In humans and animals, a stoma can refer to an artificial opening created for waste elimination, through which waste products flow from the body.
If you mean a surgically created opening to the urinary bladder or to the intestines, or for a tracheostomy, they are open. e.g. A stoma IS always open. A temporary stoma may be made and later closed, but by definition, stoma is an "opening".1. Picture of trach stoma. - This shows a trach stoma cap which protects the stoma.2. Picture of a loop ileostomy. -- Whether the stoma opens to bowel or bladder, the outside of the stoma appears basically the same. If for bladder, a small flexible tube is kept put through the stoma; a see-through "bag" attached to the skin (or upper thigh) collects the urine which the person must dump. The tubing is replaced periodically. If for bowel, a see through pouch is affixed onto the skin, over the stoma, to collect feces. The feces must be 'dumped' also.On any stoma, the area must be cleansed or the tender tissue can break down, bleed, become infected, etc.
Stoma (or plural form stomata for a number of stoma)
Oxygen and carbon dioxide. (O2) and (CO2)
Through the holes in the leaf that are called stoma. ( stomata, singular )
The stoma on the underside of the leaf
The homophone for "floes" is "flows."
transpiration
Passing outwards through the stoma are water vapour, and oxygen. Passing inwards is mainly carbon dioxide.

No, it is not OK to do this.
The three gases that pass through the stoma are carbon dioxide (CO2), oxygen (O2), and water vapor (H2O). Carbon dioxide enters the plant through the stoma for photosynthesis, while oxygen and water vapor exit as byproducts.
