A student says, “The rumen and cecum are basically the same because they both contain microorganisms that help digest roughage.” What is the BEST response?
Correct - they are identical organs.
They have similar fermentation functions, but the rumen is part of a ruminant’s four compartment stomach while the cecum is part of the hindgut.
The cecum is in the foregut, while the rumen is in the hindgut.
Neither organ is involved in digestion.
