ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The small intestine completes most of the digestive process and absorbs many nutrients through villi (small finger-like projections). From the villi the nutrients enter into the blood and lymphatic systems.

Detailed explanation-2: -The abomasum produces hydrochloric acid and digestive enzymes such as pepsin (breaks down proteins) and receives digestive enzymes secreted from the pancreas such as pancreatic lipase (breaks down fats). These secretions help prepare proteins for absorption in the intestines.

Detailed explanation-3: -The small intestine absorbs most of the nutrients in your food, and your circulatory system passes them on to other parts of your body to store or use.

Detailed explanation-4: -Omasum and abomasum are two of the four compartments of the ruminant stomach. Omasum is the third chamber that digests food by fermentation and mechanical digestion. On the other hand, abomasum is the fourth chamber that carries out chemical digestion of foods.

Detailed explanation-5: -The abomasum lies primarily on the abdominal floor as an expanded cavity with the fundus near the xiphoid, the body between the ventral compartment of the rumen, and the pyloric part inclining to the right to join the duodenum at the pylorus.
