A

papillae
ventral sac + atrium ruminis
dorsal sac - “cap” of gas

27
Q

Function of papillae

A

absorption

28
Q

Function of Reticulum

A

pass small enough particles –> omasum

29
Q

Reticulum is right against the caudal surface of ______.

A

diaphragm (cupula)

30
Q

Reticulum is from ~__ rib –> ~__ rib.

A

6th –> 8th

31
Q

The reticulum is caudal to what organ? Clinical significance?

heart
“hardware disease”

32
Q

Which forestomach compartment has opening of the esophagus?

A

reticulum

33
Q

Term for opening of esophagus –> stomach

A

cardiac ostium

34
Q

Groove connecting opening of reticulum (ventral from cardiac ostium)

A

reticular groove

35
Q

Opening from reticulum –> omasum

A

reticulo-omasal ostium

36
Q

Clinical significance of reticulo-osmasal ostium

A

calf eats milk right away and non-glandular part underdeveloped
“lips” contract to get milk from omasum –> abomasum quickly

Omasum is on the (right/left) and between ribs __ and __.

A

right
8 & 11

40
Q

Omasum is very (moist/dry). Why?

A

3

abomasal groove

48
Q

Ligament of lesser omentum that attaches abomasum –> liver
