QUESTION

Which part of ruminant stomach is known as pouch?

OPTIONS

(A) Rumen
(B) Reticulum
(C) Omasum
(D) Abomasum

ANSWER

(B) Reticulum

EXPLANATION

Reticulum is the correct option because the reticulum is a pouch-like compartment of the ruminant forestomach located cranially and closely connected with the rumen. The rumen is the large fermentation chamber, the omasum is the many-leaved compartment, and the abomasum is the glandular true stomach.
