The Cow’s Four Stomachs

A cow has four stomachs ! It may sound unbelievable but it is true.
A cow do not have ordinary digestive system. These animals do not have
Upper front teeth. They eat grass by wrapping their tongue around it and
pulling it from the ground .They have back teeth but they cannot chew the
grass properly.
 Cow swallow grass without chewing up. When it is swallowed, the grass
goes into the cow’s first stomach, called rumen. In the rumen, the grass is
broken up by some digestive juices and forms into a ball. The ball of grass is
called cud. The cow brings back the cud into its mouth. Then the cow chews
the cud into a pulp with its back teeth and re-swallows it.
After the cud is swallowed the second time, it goes into the cow’s
second stomach called reticulum. The reticulum filters the food and takes out

Out small stones or any non-food matter. Then the food goes into the
cow’s third stomach called omasum.
The orsum further filters the food. Any undigested food is sent back to the
rumen. Then the cow chews it some more. The digested food from the omasum
goes into the abomasum, the cow’s fourth stomach. The digested food becomes
a part of the cow’s body.

Talk about It

Answer the following. questions.

Which is the first stage in digesting the cow’s food?

What does the cow do with the cud in its mouth ?
What happens to the undigested food in the omasum ?
What happens to the digested food in the abomasum ?
Why Is any undigested food sent back to the rumen ?

Remember

Events arranged in order help us in different ways. It is easier to understand a story remember
it and tell it again if it is in order. The order in which things happen is what we call a sequence.
Seeing ideas in sequence can help us remember things more easily.
