An animal's stomach is an example of a specialized organ that plays a crucial role in the digestive system. It functions as a muscular sac that breaks down food using mechanical and chemical processes, including the secretion of acids and enzymes. This organ exemplifies how biological structures are adapted for specific functions essential for survival and energy extraction from food.

All ruminants have two toes therefore why are swine not ruminants?
It is proof that the conclusion that "all animals that are cloven hooved (or have 'two toes') are ruminants" is false. Swine are not ruminants because they have a simple stomach, not a four-chambered stomach, and thus are omnivorous animals. Other animals that are two-toed or cloven-hooved but are not ruminants are camelids (camels, alpacas, and llamas, for example), which are known as pseudoruminants due to the fact that they only have a three-chambered stomach.
What are difference of simple stomach animals from compound stomach animals?
Simple stomached animals, such as dogs, pigs and horses (and humans) only have one chamber in their stomach. It is generally at a low pH such as pH 2-3. Animals with a compound stomach have a much more complex arrangement. They have four compartments to their stomach. These compartments are called the reticulum, the rumen, the omasum and the abomasum. The abomasum is similar to the simple stomach. THis arrangement is so the animal can ferment the food they eat. Animals with this arrangement are known as ruminants and include sheep, goats and cows.
