A

intraruminal opening

25
Q

What are the characteristics of the inside of the omasum?

A

26
Q

Which region of the omasum lacks lamina?

A

omasal canal

27
Q

29
Q

Which region of the abomasum lacks permanent spiral folds?

A

abomasal groove

30
Q

What do ruminants and pigs have in place of a pyloric sphincter?

A

torus pyloricus

31
Q

What is the gastric groove?
