What are the non-glandular parts of the ruminant stomach
Rumen
Reticulum
Omasum
What is in rumen to increase absorptive surface area?
Conical papilla
Best way to ID rumen
No muscularis mucosae (therefore, has lamina propria-submucosa)
Rumen fxn
Fermentation vat
-Makes VFA to provide E for ruminant
What is essential for cellulose digestion in ruminant
bacteria
What helps increase surface area of reticulum
Crests/folds/cristae
Best way to ID reticulum
Muscularis mucosae present only in apex of crest
Fxn of reticulum
Same as rumen
Best way to ID omasum
Numerous longitudinal laminae (mucosal folds) in wall of lumen
Omasal papillae
Different from laminae in omasum
-small knobs that assist with grinding
Does omasum have complete muscularis mucosae?
yes
Fxn of omasum
Absorption of water, VFA, breakdown of food
