Miss Swiss Reports: Omasum
It is I, Miss Swiss the Brown Swiss and today on our journey through the stomach of a cow we have the omasum. After food particles are broken down into small pieces they can pass into the omasum which appears to have many folds. The folds function by increasing the surface area and thus increasing the nutrient absorption rate. We absorb a lot of water into our body from the omasum.
