  2. Rumen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumen

    The rumen, also known as a paunch, is the largest stomach compartment in ruminants. [1] The rumen and the reticulum make up the reticulorumen in ruminant animals. [2]The diverse microbial communities in the rumen allows it to serve as the primary site for microbial fermentation of ingested feed, which is often fiber-rich roughage typically indigestible by mammalian digestive systems.

  3. Ovine forestomach matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovine_Forestomach_Matrix

    Ovine forestomach matrix (OFM), marketed as AROA ECM, is a layer of decellularized extracellular matrix (ECM) biomaterial isolated from the propria submucosa of the rumen of sheep. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] OFM is used in tissue engineering and as a tissue scaffold for wound healing and surgical applications.

  4. Ruminant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruminant

    Rumen fermentation produces large amounts of organic acids, thus maintaining the appropriate pH of rumen fluids is a critical factor in rumen fermentation. After digesta passes through the rumen, the omasum absorbs excess fluid so that digestive enzymes and acid in the abomasum are not diluted. [1]

  5. Ground tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_tissue

    The ground tissue of plants includes all tissues that are neither dermal nor vascular. It can be divided into three types based on the nature of the cell walls. This tissue system is present between the dermal tissue and forms the main bulk of the plant body. Parenchyma cells have thin primary walls and usually remain alive after they become ...

  6. Reticulorumen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reticulorumen

    It is composed of the rumen and reticulum. The reticulum differs from the rumen with regard to the texture of its lining. The rumen wall is covered in small, finger-like projections called papillae, whereas the reticulum is lined with ridges that form a hexagonal honeycomb pattern. The ridges are approximately 0.1–0.2 mm wide and are raised 0 ...

  7. Secondary cell wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_cell_wall

    It sometimes consists of three distinct layers - S 1, S 2 and S 3 - where the direction of the cellulose microfibrils differs between the layers. [1] The direction of the microfibrils is called microfibril angle (MFA). In the secondary cell wall of fibres of trees a low microfibril angle is found in the S2-layer, while S1 and S3-layers show a ...

  8. Omasum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omasum

    The omasal laminae are made of thin muscular layers covered with a nonglandular mucous membrane. [4] The omasal laminae come from the sides of the large curvature and project towards the inside of the omasum, extending from the reticulo-omasal orifice to the omaso-abomasal orifice. [8] [4] They greatly increase the surface area of the omasum.

  9. Cambium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambium

    A cambium (pl.: cambiums or cambia), in plants, is a tissue layer that provides partially undifferentiated cells for plant growth. It is found in the area between xylem and phloem. A cambium can also be defined as a cellular plant tissue from which phloem, xylem, or cork grows by division, resulting (in woody plants) in secondary thickening.
