What is the function of rumino-reticular groove in young ruminants. |
This groove directs the ingested milk from esophagus directly into the omasum bypassing the rumen. |
|
|
Function of chief cells in stomach? |
Chief cells produce pepsinogen, that is converted into an active enzyme pepsin |
|
|
Functions of parietal cells in stomach. |
Parietal cells produce hydrochloric acid (HCl), that lowers down the pH of the stomach and helps to kill the bacteria ingested with food. |
|
|

Name the organ, that produces the hormones CCK and secretin |
Duodenum |
|
|
What is the effect of CCK and secretin on the stomach motality |
Decreases the stomach motality |
|

|
|
What is founder? |
Founder is laminitis of hoof. It occurs due to over eating of carbohydrate rich diets, that produces toxins in rumen. These toxins produce blood clots and may block the small capillaries of hoof leading to laminitis. |
