It directs liquids from the oesophagus to the abomasum. This is most important in young ruminants, as it enables milk to bypass the fermentative activity
of the rumen

    well as providing innate immune protection from enteric pathogens. - Paneth cells secrete factors that help sustain and modulate the epithelial stem and progenitor
    cells that cohabitate in the crypts.
