Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The abomasum, also known as the maw, rennet-bag, or reed tripe, is the fourth and final stomach compartment in ruminants. It secretes rennet, which is used in cheese creation.

Detailed explanation-2: -The rumen contracts, forcing some of this well-chewed food into the second stomach, or reticulum. From there it passes to the omasum (third stomach), where water is extracted. It then enters the true, or fourth, stomach, the abomasum, where gastric juices (containing hydrochloric acid) are added to the food.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ruminant stomachs have four compartments: the rumen, the reticulum, the omasum and the abomasum.
