abomasum
the fourth compartment of the ruminant stomach. It is an elongated sac, comparable in structure and function to the stomach of nonruminants. It lies in the right half of the abdominal cavity, largely on the abdominal floor, except in late pregnancy when it is pushed cranially by the enlarging uterus and may also be lifted from the abdominal floor. See also abomasal.
