The abomasum is the âtrue stomachâ of a ruminant. It is the compartment that is most similar to a stomach in a nonruminant. The abomasum produces hydrochloric acid and digestive enzymes, such as pepsin (breaks down proteins), and receives digestive enzymes secreted from the pancreas, such as pancreatic lipase (breaks down fats).
1 The esophagus connects to the stomach at a small region called the cardia. 2  The cardia is a narrow, tube-like region that opens up into the wider regions of the stomach. 3  Within the cardia is the lower esophageal sphincter, a band of muscle tissue that contracts to hold food and acid inside of the stomach. Stomach mucus is also rich in bicarbonate ions, which neutralize the pH of stomach acid. 2  Parietal cells found in the gastric pits of the stomach produce 2 important secretions: intrinsic factor and hydrochloric acid.
