👉 Stomatolepas are small, round-shaped structures found in the oral cavity that are primarily responsible for food absorption and digestion. These structures are essential for human health by facilitating proper chewing and swallowing of food. They include the buccal (mouth) stoma, which is located between the cheeks and the gums; the tongue stoma, which is located at the front of the tongue; and the mandibular (upper jaw) stoma, which is located above the upper teeth.
