QUESTION
Pepsinogen and HCl is secreted in ruminants by?
OPTIONS
(A) Omasum
(B) Abomasum
(C) Reticulum
(D) Ruman
ANSWER
(B) Abomasum
EXPLANATION
Abomasum is the correct option because the abomasum is the true glandular stomach of ruminants and contains gastric glands that secrete hydrochloric acid and pepsinogen. The rumen, reticulum and omasum are primarily forestomach compartments involved in fermentation, mixing and absorption rather than the main source of HCl and pepsinogen.
