Quando jovens, o líquido do retículo entra no omaso pelo orifício retículo-omasal.

O omaso tem função de absorção de água (60 a 70% da água do bolo alimentar), de minerais, de AGV e redução de partículas alimentares, atravéz de contrações frequentes e fortes, comprimindo e triturando essas partículas.

Em sua face interna há presença de lâminas com eixo muscular central. Ao longo das lâminas: papilas;Imagem:omaso.jpg

This is obviously one of the romance languages, if you can translate it and if appropriate add part to page, please do. There may be some plagarism, so be careful.--File Éireann 23:52, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It is portuguese, I'll try my best to translate: "When young, liquid in the reticulum enters the omasum through the reticulo-omasum hole. Omasum has the function of absorbing water (60-70% of water from cud), minerals, volatile fatty acids and of reducing alimentary particles, using strong and frequent contractions, compressing and crushing those particles.

On the inner face, there are folds [or sheets] with a central muscualr axis. Along the folds there are papiles.

Well, I know nothing about ruminants so, anybody feel free to add it to the main page (or not). --Pinzo 18:07, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

They look like ground meat wrapped in greater omentum not omasum. Greater omentum is a large fold of peritoneum hanging down from the stomach. Omasum is part of the stomoch. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.192.82.178 (talk) 23:20, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
