Is abomasum called a true stomach?
The true stomach in the cow is abomasum and is the fourth chamber. It has glands, secreting acids and enzymes for digestion. It functions similarly to the carnivore stomach as it is glandular and digests food chemically, rather than fermentation like the other 3 chambers of the ruminant stomach.
