Abomasum

Author: Dr. Thomas Caceci

The histology of this portion of the ruminant digestive tract is identical to that of the fundic stomach in monogastric animals. It has a deep lamina propria filled with simple branched tubular glands, which contain parietal and chief cells indistinguishable from those of other species and having the same functions.
