To answer your second question, these four parts of the cow's stomach do not themselves have parts, they are simply parts themselves of a single cow's stomach. The whole purpose of these chambers or compartments is to make it easier to digest roughage more efficiently and use the subsequent effort of digestion as a source of energy for reproduction, body maintenance, mobility, growth, and overall health.
