Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reticulum is not the final chamber where undigested pulp is stored for disposal. It is actually the second compartment where smaller digesta particles are sorted and regurgitated for re-chewing. The true final compartment is the omasum, where water, soluble food, and microbial products are absorbed.
