What is the chamber in a cow's body where bacteria break down chewed up grass?
That would be the rumen, which is the first chamber out of four in a cow's stomach. The other three chambers are the reticulum, omasum and abomasum.
Why is abomasum called a true stomach?
Because it functions like a true stomach, secreting hydrochloric acid and peptidases to digest proteins and break down digesta that the rumen couldn't break down. The abomasum is actually the stomach that newborn calves have better developed than the other three chambers of a bovines' stomach, enabling easier passage to digest milk from its mother.
What is the true stomach of a ruminant?

What is unusual about the ostrich's foot?

What is a fore-gut fermentor?
A fore-gut fermentor is the same name for a ruminant. Ruminants have a compartment where the feed they eat is fermented that is located prior to their true stomach, being the abomasum. Because the Abomasum is the true stomach and the other three chambers are more or less an extension of the esophagus, this is why ruminants are called fore-gut fermentors. Ruminants include such animals as cattle, sheep, goats, deer, bison, buffalo, yak, elk, moose, etc.
Do cows have 4 livers?
In a matter of speaking, yes, but technically, no. Cows have three forestomachs and one true stomach. The "fourth stomach" then would be the abomasum, while the other forestomachs are called, in order, the reticulum, rumen and omasum. It can also be agreed upon, by common knowledge though, that cows have one main stomach with four compartments, thus the fourth compartment would be known as the abomasum.
How many stomachs does a calf have when it's born?
Four, just like his mother, but the first three (the rumen, reticulum and omasum) are under-developed, unlike his true stomach, the abomasum.
How is the muscularis externa of the stomach modified?
Under the submucosa, the muscularis externa in the stomach differs from that of other GI organs in that it has three layers of smooth muscle instead of two.
What portion of the ruminant stomach has a honeycomb type lining?
The honeycomb stomach is the second chamber, the reticulum. The other three chambers are the rumen (large fermentation vat), the omasum (with leaves, often called the Bible or book stomach) and the abomasum (the glandular or "true" stomach that is most similar to human stomachs).
