The reticulum is the second stomach of a bovine, found directly in front of the rumen, in line with the opening of the esophagus into the rumen. Another term for the reticulum is "hardware stomach." This is because this chamber is mainly used as a screening device and a storage area for foreign objects like wire, nails or even buttons that drop in as feed enters into the rumen. It has no other use in digesting feed unlike the rumen, omasum and abomuasum. Retractions of the rumen help not only digest and mix feed particles and liquid digesta, but also move foreign objects into the reticulum where they will not impede the rest of the digestion process from the rumen onward.

∙ 13y agoThe reticulum is the second stomach in the set of four, its main function is to interact with the rumen to initiate the mixing activity of the rumen and providing and additional area for fermentation. This stomach is generally known as the honeycomb due to the lining of small compartments in the shape of honeycombs. It is also known as the Hardware Stomach since it is the main compartment where foreign objects like nails, stones, wire, and other objects are collected and degraded by the gastric juices of the cow's GI tract.

What is the function of Rough endoplasmic reticulum in animal cell?
Endoplasmic reticulum is like a transport and manufacturing pipeline, for many biochemical compounds. Endoplasmic reticulum function is dependent on its type. There are three types of endoplasmic reticulum, which are:Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER)Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER)Sarcoplasmic Reticulum (SR)
Transport of molecules within animal cells occurs in the what?
the Endoplasmic reticulum
Which organelle is primarily involved in the synthesis of oils?
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
What organelles is covered in ribosome?
Type your answer here... Rough endoplasmic reticulum
What organelle acts as the highway to transport proteins?
endoplasmic reticulum
What transport materials throughout cytoplasm?
Endoplasmic Reticulum, or Reticulum for short.
What are parts of the endoplasmic reticulum?
what are the parts of the reticulum?
Where are the calcium ions stored in a muscle fiber?
In the sarcoplasmic reticulum (smooth er).
What is a surface for chemical activity in a cell?
The surface for chemical activity in a cell is the endoplasmic reticulum. It is a membranous network found in the cytoplasm.
What is the the function of the reticulum?
The endoplasmic reticulum is a packaging system. There is a rough and a smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is important in the synthesis and packaging of proteins. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is important in the creation and storage of steroids.
Is the endoplasmic reticulum in an animal cell?
the endoplasmic reticulum is in both plant and animal cells. there is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) and then there is the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)
Is the endoplasmic reticulum connected to the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
No because if they been connected then it be smooth endoplasmic reticulum or the rough endoplasmic reticulum and it will be one of the both :p
Where is calcium stored in the muscle cell?
The sarcoplasmic reticulum is known for its storage of calcium ions in muscle cells.
Which endoplasmic reticulum modifies and packages newly synthesized proteins.. A.the smooth reticulum B.the ribosomal reticulum C. the proteosomes reticulum D. the rough rerticulum E. the raised retic?
The rough endoplasmic reticulum.
What color is a endoplasmic reticulum?
the endoplasmic reticulum is transparent
System of membranes that helps move substances through a cell?
The endoplasmic reticulum. Those with ribosomes are called "rough" without are called smooth.
