The omasum, also known as the manyplies, is the third stomach compartment in ruminants and is responsible for grinding and filtering food particles.
The omasum's thick muscular walls contain numerous folds, giving it a honeycomb-like appearance.
The omasum secretes enzymes that aid in the digestion of nutrients and the absorption of water.
Food entering the omasum is mixed with water and regurgitated back into the mouth for further chewing, aiding in the breakdown of fiber.
