🐄🐄 𝘿𝙄𝙂𝙀𝙎𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉 𝙄𝙉 🐄𝙍𝙐𝙈𝙄𝙉𝘼𝙉𝙏𝙎 🐄🐮 👉All herbivores (plant-eating mammals) are called ruminants. 👉They rechew the cud to break down plant matter and stimulate digestion. 👉The stomach is divided into four chambers- rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. 🐄🐮 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙊𝙛 𝘿𝙞𝙜𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 🐄🐮 👉Ruminants quickly swallow the food and store it in the rumen. 👉Once the rumen is filled, food is passed into the second chamber (reticulum). 👉In the reticulum, digestive juices partially digest the food. 👉Partially digested food is called cud. 👉Now when mammals are resting, bring the cud back into the mouth for rechewing. 👉After cud is chewed food is passed to the omasum and the abomasum. 👉Symbiotic bacteria in the caecum brought complete digestion of cellulose. #digestion https://t.me/starvetbooks
